Infrastructure

 


Seth Godin blog lists infrastructure that supports him  this relates to Gregg Krech  

I’m lucky to have access to things like:

  • GPS in countless devices
  • A team that fixed the pothole on my street
  • A worldwide coordinated effort to patch the ozone layer
  • A state park that coordinated the work to open yesterday for nordic skate skiing
  • Clean water that comes out of the tap
  • Civic systems where I’m not required to pay a bribe
  • Federal packaging laws that dramatically increase food safety and purity
  • Coordinated responses to worldwide pandemics
  • Air travel around the world that is consistently safer and more reliable than the car
  • Electricity that arrives when needed, at a surprisingly low cost
  • Ambulances that show up when needed
  • Stop lights and traffic systems that are reasonably efficient
  • The internet backbone that brought this post to you
  • The weather report
  • The apparently magical way that waste disappears without spreading disease
  • My ability to ask a librarian for help or to find just about any book

I began to name some of my "domestic infrastructure" -
  • my notebooks
  • blogger platform
  • Twitter
  • the internet
  • bookshelves
  • books to be read, of favorite old books, of J's books
  • podcasts
  • JKZ videos
  • speakers, shokz headphones, noise cancelling headphones
