Now that Everyone is Internet Connected

People are online, "everyone is connected" they say, but people are NOT participating in any way that would greatly change their lives or the society in which they live. We're not connected in a way that encourages conversations so we can talk to each other. We have web 2.0 tools but we are reluctant to use them.

Many people don't have the courage to publish what they think online. We imagine that other "clever people" should do the publishing. While the truth is that when we practise publishing, the need to make sense, and to avoid embarrassment forces us to try really hard. That's good for us. When we practice our own ideas get better.
