Blogging is a means by which to rediscover your voice, to learn to share your thoughts with others, and by doing so to help us all get smarter faster.

Stories are the way we navigate our world, our chance to make sense of who we are and what we do.

Using Social Media to Give Thanks

Social media is being used to express all manner of gratitude. Marketwired counted more than 1 billion mentions of the words "thankful," "thanks" and "thank you" in 2013. The words are appearing on worldwide social channels more than 2 million times a day. So, what are users thankful for? Life (in general), followed by friends, family and work. Perhaps this means that happiness is more widespread than previously thought - something we should all be thankful for.

Technology is just a tool.

The real future of technology is human.

If you are in school today the technologies you will use as an adult tomorrow have not been invented yet. Therefore, the life skill you need most is not the mastery of specific technologies, but mastery of the technium as a whole - how technology in general works.
