Leadership after Google requires integrity, adaptability, and wisdom. With integrity, leaders must find ethical ways to motivate positive change. Adaptability is needed to seize digital opportunities while avoiding becoming "digital dinosaurs." Wisdom entails understanding how technology like the internet can rewire the brain, and using knowledge to address what we've lost in an age of information overload. Leaders must remain committed to redeeming the future through principled action guided by these virtues.

3. this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the
learners' souls, because they will not use their
memories; they will trust to the external written
characters and not remember of themselves. The
specific which you have discovered is an aid not to
memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your
disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth;

“We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us. Did you ever
think what those sleepers are that underlie the railroad? Each
one is a man.... The rails are laid on them, and they are
covered with sand, and the cars run smoothly over them. They
are sound sleepers, I assure you. And every few years a new
lot is laid down and run over; so that, if some have the
pleasure of riding on a rail, others have the misfortune to be
ridden upon.”
Walden
Henry David Thoreau

15. if, knowing what we know today about the brain’s
plasticity, you were to invent a medium that would
rewire our mental circuits as quickly and thoroughly
as possible, you would probably end up desiginging
something that looks and works a lot like the internet.
It’s not just that we tend to use the Net regularly, even
obsessively. It’s that the Net delivers precisely the
kind of sensory stimuli - repetitive, intensive,
interactive, addictive - that have been shown to result
in strong and rapid alterations in brain circuits and
functions.

is changing the way we think, read and remember,
