How to write an opening statement
I’m revising some of my “about” and “biography” pages at the moment, and looking for inspiration. The opening statement to the MIT Media Lab’s “overview” document is just sublime:
The Media Lab is a place where the future is lived, not imagined. Our domain is applying unorthodox research approaches for envisioning the impact of emerging technologies on everyday life.
Wow! That’s a seriously well-crafted piece of writing, and something to aspire to on every level.
