Art, Technology, and Leadership

I really liked this TEDtalk. John Maeda doesn't specifically mention music, but he talks a lot about the intersection of technology, design, art, and leadership. He makes some very interesting points about the ways in which leadership has changed, and why technology should be influenced by art.
I especially liked the way he thinks of technology in the classroom. He believes strongly that neither the old way or the new way are the best, but old + new is. I think there is a lot of truth to this. Both the old way and the new way have pros, and by combining the best parts of each you can create an entirely unique method.
