New Social Media

It is interesting, how deep my generation is entrenched into the internet without knowing how and the effects that follow.

For example when Facebook recently changed the format one of my acquaintances was outraged that anyone could look up the information they post on Facebook.  They had been using the internet not realizing that it was a global network the entire time.

Another example is a friend of mine when trying to consider my preference to not be exposed to some of his interests decided to create a sub blog for such content.  However he didn't realize that the sub content shows on the home blog.

The world is changing we need to be aware of the consequences of our actions off and online.

    

Just Listening

I'm beginning to take Socrates ideas of finding truth to heart.  He believed that by deliberating with his fellow man he could come to truth.  I believe that just by listening you can come to truth.  People love to talk about themselves, their ideas, their days, their personality, their life and everyone has a unique spin, perspective and philosophy. So when you listen it broadens your horizons tyo things you may have never considered.  I have found that most of the answers (lately) that I have been looking for came out of the mouths of people who were pondering just like me.  With millions, and even billions of people in the world, we don't need to seek knowledge with blinders on, that would defeat the purpose.
