After all if you can ship the fulfillment of your ideas and designs to well educated, efficient producers in other countries for a fraction of the cost to produce them in the country of origin, then its a no-brainer. Raising up the visual communication aspect of how it inspires and enhances innovation is also a no-brainer to my way of thinking although this is generally not mainstream at this point. Tom Hi Michele

There is a lot of talk in the business world these days about mature economies such as the US needing to gear people up to be more of the innovators than the producers.

Raising up the visual communication aspect of how it inspires and enhances innovation is also a no-brainer to my way of thinking although this is generally not mainstream at this point.

In it, he discusses his experiences with Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain," which I think is another great resource for non-artists to start understanding the visual as it goes into great detail about how to "see" like an artist. Dan's point echoes Dave Gray's, which is that skills like design and symphony (both of which are attached to visual language, I think) are necessary skills in a global economy where left-brain stuff is being shipped to other countries. I would submit that it's this kind of skill with the visual that will begin to be required, as Dave points out. Looking forward to more of these posts!
