Jon Bruner and I continued our Radar coffee talk series of conversations at Astro Coffee in Detroit’s Corktown. In the shadow of the abandoned Michigan Central Station we reflected on what we think of as a collision between the second industrial revolution (electric mechanization) and the third (information and networks). Will Google’s driverless car be to the automobile industry what Amazon has been to publishing?
The now abandoned Michigan Central Station has become something of a metaphor for the industrial age.
We hope you enjoy the conversation and we’re looking forward to your comments. You can listen to it here in the embedded player or you can also subscribe to them at iTunes.
p.s. If you have a favorite coffee shop, tell us about it in the comments. Maybe we’ll have our next coffee talk there.
