the HAVES ignore the HAVE-NOTS and always will.
The problem with all the people who are using the internet successfully is that they have no time left for those who can’t. The digital world isn’t like giving your spare change to a guy on the corner. Training someone to be an educated digital citizen takes real time. You can’t solve it with a slide show or a widget.
I can’t even guess which skills we’ll need for tomorrow’s internet. But as long as someone pays for me to be a librarian, I’ll continue to care and to teach it to whomever needs to know. And if no one wants to pay me, I won’t teach it, but I’ll still care.
aw, thanks, Blake!
