Kevin Kelly

Here is his Wikipedia.

If you can recall, in last week's post, I discussed how I would love to write for WIRED Magazine, well, Kevin Kelly was the founding executive editor of the publication.

Apart from his writing abilities, his, I think, rational thoughts regarding the future of technology are fascinating. A discussion he had with Tim Ferris (164#) regarding technology which we should and should not be worried about, was the catalyst for this article.

To further enhance your curiosity for technological development, read his book, The Inevitable, which argues how technology will change the world in the next thirty years.

Moreover, despite his analytical predictions for the future, there is one article he wrote, in particular, I find inspiring.

Something I am yet to crack is how to build an audience. I know the basics regarding the process, however, there is a force preventing me from implementing them.

The article, '1000 True Fans,' puts this practice in a new perspective. 

If you seek stardom, you are looking at things the wrong way, plus it is more difficult to achieve. Whereas If you want to work for what you are passionate about, all you need is 1000 die-hards who are guaranteed to, let’s say, subscribe to your newsletter or purchase a product you have developed.
