The problem is that you are a computer pro. I doubt you could show
others how to think in this fashion. You need to understand blogs,
and that they are article based with dates. You'd have to explain RSS
feeds as a notification stunt. You'd have to explain that there are
ways to use the feeds: Google Reader, Browser functionalities,
Aggregators, and so on. It really is hard, at least at the conceptual
level for non-geeks.
I remember *several* folks at the complex begging for chats on "how to
use the web" so to speak. We never got around to it, but boy would it
be useful. Don had a few "barn raising" sessions: come with your
laptop and we'll show you how to use the wiki or how to use forums.
Maybe we ought to go back to that?
