The Importance of Personal Action

Unlike TV, the Internet is a two way medium. Information comes to you, and almost always you can respond in some way, putting your own ideas, thoughts and opinions into the information mix.

My research tells me that about 60% of the people on the Internet NEVER do that. If you are one of those people this is an important issue which goes to the heart of who you are, and to who is the person you are becoming in the next ten years.
