Most of this article applies just as much to graphic designers, illustrators or photographers as much as it does to web designers and developers.
My one caveat is to remember that just as no battle plan survives contact with the enemy, no business plan survives changing markets. Never forget things change. Japanese watch companies became printer companies. American watch companies not so much I remember a typesetter in the early 1990s telling me that desktop programs could never put him out of business...

First, I fell in love with paper: the way its surface feels, its weight, how it folds. I fell in love with type sometime around the age of fourteen. I was fascinated by colophons in the backs of books. There was Clarendon, Garamond, Palatino. I had a part time job in a letterpress shop.
You know what, the infatuation never went away.

"The conflicts we need to worry about are the ones not disclosed. They’re far more prevalent and they do actually deceive readers because they’re far more subtle. But that’s an impossible task. AOL can’t fix that — no one can. So instead they’ll slaughter the lamb everyone can see to gain puffery amongst the old media peers who also live to die another day.
It has almost been exactly one year since AOL acquired us. At the time, they promised not to interfere with the way we do things. For 11+ months, they’ve kept their word, and things have run beautifully from our end. Our business is one of the few sterling ornaments on their mantel. Now they may break their promise to us. And if that promise is broken, it will break TechCrunch."
"The former U.S. counter-terrorism official who raised the alarm that a major terrorist attack was coming before 9/11 is now warning that cyber-war is an imminent threat."
Many of the top decision makers, Cofer said, are still ignorant of the threats that are out there and how they target major corporations, government agencies and the defense industry.
Cofer Black, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Counterterrorist Center, said in his keynote speech Aug. 3 at the Black Hat conference. Cofer was the U.S. Department of State’s coordinator for counter-terrorism with the rank of ambassador at large from December 2002 to November 2004.
The ability of Stuxnet to physically damage equipment has made cyber-security significantly more important, Black said. The fact that cyber-attacks can impact the physical world means cyber-techniques must be considered as a tool that terrorists can utilize, Black said.
Stuxnet damaged centrifuges used to enrich uranium in Iran's nuclear facility setting back the country's nuclear development program. The latest reports indicate Iran is replacing the centrifuges outright because of the damage.
“I can’t say I understand how it was executed, but the important point is, this is expensive to pull off, which means a nation-state was involved,” Black said, adding that cyber-attacks will be “key component” of future conflict against “a nation-state, a rogue state or terrorist groups.”
