Chris’ Analog Book Report - Three takeaways
“…the objective of automation is clear - it is to relieve body and mind of the burden of labor.”
Robert Hassan, Analog (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series) book
“For those companies that went remote in the pandemic, the debts accrued by their surrender to digital continue to mount: a debt of talent and creativity, of ideas, culture, and the interpersonal ties that make a companymuch more than the work it does.”
David Sax, The Future is Analog book
“The analog businesses succeeding today, despite digital competition, are those that have been able to really create and emphasize credibility.”
Arrigo Berni, The Revenge of Analog book
