Introduction-
During the past few decades, the world has
seen a startling number of changes, advances,
and innovations. We have developed new technologies,
new resources, new tools, and as a result, a new
way of thinking. We realize, that with the
power we now possess, we now have the
power to change the world.
However, it is becoming increasingly apparent
that a new form of change is in order. We
need to pull ourselves from the restrictive,
beauracratic workplace of today, and enter the
bold, new next generation of the Creative Center.
We need to bring together the people of the
world, their cultural ties, their professional
aptitudes, their creative intuition. Bringing
these people together in one place, every day,
allowing them to freely exchange their ideas
and thoughts, will lead us to solutions to
nearly any problem.
Taking full advantage of the vast connectivity
and communication possibilities of the Internet,
the Creative Center will be a global, on-going
collaboration of people and thoughts, technologies
and tools. A means of drawing answers from
the people who know. A way of working where
the creative professional can join with a dynamic,
ever-changing group of committed visionaries.
These people, drawn together by a common
need for change and a love for discovery, will
work together within the confines of this
proposed Creative Center. Exploring new
development possibilities in all fields, not
just computer-related topics. Committed
to challenging outdated ideas and primitive
ways of thinking, the Creative Center's various
teams will solve the problems no traditional
organization even approaches.
A comprehensive proposal is being prepared at
the present time. Scheduled for release to the
Internet community (pending support and approval)
on 30 June 1994, this document will outline the
thoughts and visions i have of this new workplace.
Any questions, comments, support, or other
communication can be emailed to cbongart at delphi.com.
A Usenet discussion group may be established
in the near future to help promote the
exchange of ideas regarding this project.
