Extensions and souvenirs | Seth’s Blog

When a model is prosperous, there is often a need to increase it.

Disneyland was an extension of Disney films. It mirrored some of the magic of the films, but developed anything new and valuable as properly. Disneyland had some of the Disney essence and then developed a thing additive and new.

Apple did the same issue with the Apple iphone in extending the model of the Mac.

On the other hand, the new Leica view is basically a souvenir. It’s not a superior look at. It’s not much more of a Leica than any of a dozen other overpriced watches could be found to be. It is just there to remind you that you appreciated the initial. It’s a souvenir of a emotion, not the creator.

Nothing mistaken with a memento. I’m guaranteed Leica will make a earnings from their view with very little injury to the guarantee that the manufacturer itself makes. But make as well many souvenirs and you come to be a hollow shell, squandering the opportunity to make the transform you seek out.

The crappy t-shirt you purchased at your favored musician’s live performance is a memento, but they shouldn’t rely on that as their legacy or the engine of their expansion.

All working day, person creators have to make decisions about what they are likely to do up coming. Sometimes we can create an extension. And sometimes, we come to a decision to make a memento as an alternative.
