A key fact is that a superabundance of community respect and social capital are being accumulated by those who share. The key motivator of Social Media and the core spirit of Web 2.0 is a mind switch called Sharism. Sharism suggests a re-orientation of personal values.

Interesting requirement - so much will depend on the quality of the instruction and if this is viewed as a money-saving strategy. On-line teachers are often busier than a classroom teacher. Gary

WORRIES about the damage the internet may be doing to young people has produced a mountain of books?a suitably old technology in which to express concerns about the new. Robert Bly claims that, thanks to the internet, the ?neo-cortex is finally eating itself?. Today?s youth may be web-savvy, but they also stand accused of being unread, bad at communicating, socially inept, shameless, dishonest, work-shy, narcissistic and indifferent to the needs of others.

Another one from Pete MacKay's "The Teachers List": I"t's a blog that showcases all of the old content from Popular Mechanics magazines. It's amazing how we constantly underestimate (and totally miss the point) of how technology will affect our lives in the future. It makes me wonder what an archaic, clunky brick the iPhone will be in a few years..." Gary

Kristol?s performance on the Op-Ed page during the most interesting election in a generation is a historical symptom, not merely a personal failure. He wrote badly because his world view had become problematic at best, untenable at worst, and he had spent too many years turning out Party propaganda to summon the intellectual resources that a difficult situation required. Now the Times owes it to its readers to find someone better.
