The Decline And Fall Of AT&T Wireless

The Decline And Fall Of AT&T Wireless 09/21/2004 12:29 PM
If you've followed the AT&T Wireless story screaming "no, no, no, don't do that!" all the way down for the past few years, then not much in this (very long) profile of the fall of AT&T Wireless will surprise you. However, it's a pretty good review of how a bunch of shortsighted management decisions from an executive team that clearly didn't want to waste any time actually understanding their business, killed what had been one of the best brands in the business in a fairly short period of time. It will make a fascinating business school case study one day.

Imagineering's decline and fall

Imagineering's decline and fall 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: A new columnist at SaveDisney.com (a site backed by ousted Disney Board members including Roy Disney, Walt's nephew) is chronicling the decline and fall of Imagineering, attempting to answer the question, "How is it possible that the same people who created EPCOT Center, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure and Tokyo Disney Seas, also created Disney's California Adventure, Walt Disney Studios Paris, DinoRama, and Journey into YOUR Imagination?"

Paul Pressler had convinced everyone on the Parks & Resorts team that Disney's California Adventure would be an unparalleled success. In the days leading up to the opening of California Adventure, the Director of Attractions at Disneyland, Paul Yeargin, openly discussed his concerns that Disney's California Adventure would fill to capacity every day. He thought the resort's biggest problem would be disappointed guests, who, after traveling a great distance to see California Adventure would have to settle for Disneyland instead. Yeargin and other Disneyland executives made decisions based on this premise. Including a now infamous decision by Disneyland Resort President, Cynthia Harriss, to restrict Annual Passholders from using their passes at Disney's California Adventure for the first few months after opening. This decision only served to anger the already disgruntled 400,000 passholders who provide a significant amount of revenue for the resort. Harriss and Yeargin, like many of the Disneyland executives, had followed Pressler over from the Disney Stores and had no previous theme park experience.

Then in February 2001, the world saw what had been festering behind closed doors at WDI for the past several years. Disney's California Adventure opening in the old Disneyland parking lot. It was a mix of off-the-shelf carnival rides and film-based attractions. When Walt's close friend and long-time Imagineer, John Hench, saw the park for the first time he said, "I liked it better as a parking lot." WDI would try to fix California Adventure any way they could. They threw attractions at it left and right...Who Wants to be A Millionaire, a bug's land, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, even the Main Street Electrical Parade would come out of moth balls. None of it worked, of course.

Most of us robot old timers grew up reading electronic project books written by Forrest M. Mims III. Mims recently wrote a letter to Mark David of Electronic Design magazine, lamenting a declining interest in hobby electronics. Apparently Radio Shack has pulled all their eletronic project books from the shelves due to declining sales. Mark reports that NASA, fearing a dearth of future engineers, is funding educational programs that are promoting interest in electronics through robotics.

On the decline of anti-gay sentiment in
the UK... 12/12/2003 08:08 AM

The Guardian has an article today about the increasing acceptance of homosexuality in society that is worth a read: Without Prejudice. It's generally a pretty well worked-through piece, even if it has a tendency to represent things in perhaps too cheerful and happy a way. Here's one of the more randomly bizarre questions it asks:

But do these advancing levels of acceptance leave us in a position where it is easier to be gay in the UK than it is to be black, or even female?

The answer to which is patently no -on the whole - because (1) there simply isn't a consistent experience of being gay in the UK (some areas / industries / cultures are gay-tolerant, some gay-positive, some are patently and overtly not), (2) gay teenagers are still some of the most at risk of bullying, homelessness and suicide statistics, and because (3) there is still a massive amount of institutionalised homophobia and stereotyping both from outside and indeed inside the 'community'.

On the other hand things have got considerably better. When I was at University you could almost feel the tides turning - and turning quickly. But there is another aspect to this rapid change in cultural beliefs regarding homosexuality and gay issues that I think the Guardian has missed. I remember when I first noticed (around ten years ago) that the frequent reference to - and tacit acceptance of - gay issues in TV shows like Friends seemed to be having much more effect on the hearts and minds of people around us than any of the dedicated and necessary campaigning and fighting of the oppressive late eighties. It seems to me that the media won the war for us, and that's troubling in and of itself.

And it's not just who won the battles that is alarming (because there's no guarantee that they won't start reversing their position - particularly in the increasingly right-wing USA), it's also the speed in which the battles were won. I think we have to be aware of the fact that political and social life doesn't just naturally have a tendency towards liberalism and socially inclusive politics. A rapid social swing in that direction (while wonderful in the short-term) makes me concerned about the possibilities for an equally rapid swing towards more repressive and less gay-friendly ideologies. Let's let these changes bed in a bit before we start saying the war has been won.

In the meantime, The Guardian's article is a bit of a charter for complacency, because as the man said, "Rights have to be defended all of the time because rights are under attack all of the time". And looking back on the last twenty years, perhaps the lesson is not that we are naturally destined to be accepted as equals, but that - in the future if not now - the media will be the battleground upon which all ideological conflicts will be won.
