The fridge has magnetic casing for the metal pins!? šµš® What a great idea! Wonder who has the patent? Is that sarcasm? Or are you too young to have seen fridge magnets? We used to call them ice box magnets.

The 6 major paradigm shifts: 1.Push to Pull 2.Consume to Create 3.Assets to Access 4.Linear to Complex 5.Scarcity to Abundance 6.Universal to Unique 1.Push to pull is the shift from pushing structures and products to pulling in resources and demand. We are moving from marketing existing stocks to manufacturing on demand; shifting from top-down allocation to pulling resources for projects; moving from fixed structures to varying constellations, and understanding and responding to emergent patterns of user behavior. 2.Consume to create is the shift from passively consuming to actively contributing and creating. We are shifting to a more participatory experience, in which the customer is actively involved, co-creating the product or experience. We are becoming prosumers who bring content to platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. People are using their cognitive surplus to create communal projects such as Wikipedia and open-source software. This is not limited to the digital realm. Amateur hobbyists are challenging established companies during events called āMaker Fairesā, for example by building cheap and versatile drones. 3.Assets to Access is the shift from acquiring and hoarding knowledge to spreading and sharing knowledge. In education, it means shifting from memorizing facts to knowing where to find information. The new skill is searching for and evaluating information. In media, we see a shift from an emphasis on authoring to an emphasis on curating. In scientific research, the difficulty has shifted from being able to find data to navigating and mining massive databases. 4.Linear to complex is the shift from independent and predictable systems to interdependent adaptive systems. We are transitioning from seeing the world in a linear way, in which small causes have small effects and large causes have large effects, to realizing that itās perfectly possible for large marketing campaigns to have almost no result, while small things go viral and flood the market. When we are moving from a predictable world to a world that is unpredictable in principle, we must shift our strategy from planning to preparing. 5.Scarcity to abundance is the shift from scarce natural resources to using natural abundance. Where a specific situation may have had a limited set of choices, it now specializes on an abundance of renewable resources. 6.Universal to unique is the shift from mass production to tailored and individualized artifacts. In the health-care field, it is shown by the emergence of individualized medicine tailored to the genetic make-up of the user, and by the rise of individual quantified self-data. In terms of consumer empowerment, it is the possibility to design your own clothes, shoes, consumer products, and to 3D-print your own version of consumer goods Source: www.innovationmanagement.se/2015/07/03/cl-the-golden-opportunity-of-paradigm-shifts/7.

Your scenario was more true as in my case talking to my daughter today. She said "The school wants you to pay my semester's tuition today." And how much is it?
And she said "$18K" .... aaarrrggghhhh !!!

Maybe they would take MNKD stock? And it wouldn't even dilute existing shareholders!

I'm just glad that they accepted a credit card payment. The main problem was that she just nonchalantly said that I had to pay it TODAY!
Like no few days notice or something to indicate it was coming up. And then she said, "Oh I'm taking your car to meet up with some friends." Whew! Glad that I didn't have to run to the school to drop off a check. Oh, did I mention that it was in the afternoon also?
Kids don't seem to grow up ... even though she is an adult now.

I assume she was raised in Hawaii, so she's cool and laid back. And something told her that this afternoon was sufficient notice for 18 grand! Hmmm. She either knows you've got a stash of money (that's never seen your brokerage account) or she knows dad's a pushover or both - but, I'm sure you've raised a happy daughter and that's a big part of what's important! Is that in state tuition? Wow!

baba - that is a per semester charge ... AND, this is after she has already graduated from Creighton ... but, decided to go a different route. Yep, I have a professional student on my hands.
BTW, did I mention that when she came home with my car ... she said "Dad, can you empty my stuff out of the trunk of the car. I'm going to take a shower and go meet some other friends."
Aarrrggghhhhh !!!

I actually moved to New York to save on tuition costs. Daughters were offered student loans but the interest rates were like 7-8% with interest compounding upon signing; if used, they each would have graduated over $150,000 in debt.

bradleysbest wins ... she did mention that the gas was running low. So, will have to fill it up tomorrow morning. Is this still considered a paradigm shift?
