Letters We Can Save in a Shoe Box - 02/05/09 06:44 AM
I've gotten some great responses to yesterday's post about Online vs Offline networking ... and unanimously, you are talking about RELATIONSHIPS.
Howevewr, Terry Driscolls's response really grabbed my attention so I had to share with everyone.
"...  I remember sitting in an ethics class in High School (I'll just admit it was in the 70's - Terry, I graduated in 1968) and the teacher talking about a FUTURE where people could stay in their people pods, order everthing they needed and it would transport to the pod, work from their pod, and basically, never have to leave their pod.

Yesterday I attended an all day meeting. I tried to connect to the web but response was sluggish and I gave up. Some withdrawal at not getting to my morning reading, posting, ...
