The concern about social networking meaning lack of face-to-face time being debunked was very important to learn for me also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning it.
To add to this, I met today with the creator of Wiki, who lives here in Portland. He said he built the Wiki to give technology programmers a way to communicate easily within their genre. He said the impression of the geek who stays up late and eats pizza and is only engaged in screen time (and with on one else) isn't true. These folks needed community, and he provided that outlet with Wiki. Fascinating guy. I'll share more in class.
