The first rule the music business failed to understand is that, at least at first, the new thing is rarely as good as the old thing was. If you need the alternative to be better than the status quo from the very start, you’ll never begin. Soon enough, the new thing will be better than the old thing. But if you wait until then, it’s going to be too late. Feel free to wax nostalgic about the old thing, but don’t fool yourself into believing that it’s going to be here forever. It won’t. (93)
Think education instead of music.

Mark SpahrWil Richardson writes about change in education, quoting Clay Shirky and, more prominently, Seth Godin's book "Tribes." Richardson quotes a part of "Tribes" that talks about the music industry's failure to react to changes in the world around them. He then suggests that we think of education instead of music. A couple of great quotes:
"The safer you play your plans for the future, the riskier it actually is. That’s because the world is certainly, definitely, and more than possibly changing."
and
"In every organization, everyone rises to the level at which they become paralyzed with fear."-
When the world changes, the rules change. If you insist on playing today’s games by yesterday’s rules, you’re stuck. (114)
