DISQUS

Spot on brother. It seems that "dipping the toe in" isn't only a response to a specific technology, rather it may be a person or organizations response to new (insert here) and how they are able to handle change. More and more I find that the people without the current information (i.e. current events, celeb gossip, work-related news), are the ones who refuse to acknowledge that there are better forms of media and social outreach clearly available to everyone of us. As a young person it's easy for me to point out the obvious, but heck I'm not the one holding people back.

Wow, spot on. I'm trying to do this with my work and however expensive or daring it might be, as long as you do your research and understand what you're getting into--it should be an easy decision. It's almost as if that bold step is, in the hesitant one's reality, a reflection of their timid approach to decisions in general. Hey, you can't put a cassette tape into an iPod and expect it to work! It seems sometimes these things require a dramatic overhaul of not only a technological response, but more importantly a mental and ideological response to "new."

I've found that life is about balance and phases. You can't go from A to C without visiting B. In relation to your blog, if you skip phase B (i.e. never meet up with said person and develop a "relationship" over the internet) then to me personally, that's not a relationship I would like to have. We as human beings are social beings and are meant to act that way in person. More and more I find the internet and it's social networking capabilities to be a mask for people who believe they don't need to have an in-person relationship with others. As a person who meets face to face for my job with people I've never met before but have e-mailed/phoned, the relationship feels incomplete without shaking their hand and making eye contact. Good article, I like the direction you're going with this.

Best post to date. This is reaching far more people.

All these hormones flying everywhere someone's going to get their eye poked out! Well bigger brother, I reckon you'll be the first to test the waters with a potential female as a child. Let me know how it goes!

This is just cruel.
