Conversations

I was struck when Mr. Howard said he enjoyed the conversations that blogs create. As someone pointed out many of theses tools have the potential to cut us off from human interaction, but we instead use theses tools to reach out to people. It was striking that in such a technology driven era Mr. Howard was not struck by the “niftyness” of the new gadget but the conversations it spawned. He seemed fascinated by reaching people in a more direct issue specific way. Whether people are blogging about business, politics, or thimbles we are still interested in making a connection with another human. We want to know what others think. While the world around us is always shifting, we have not changed a bit.
