Here's an interesting lecture on how social use of the Internet is changing our world.
Clay Sharky's talk is called "How Twitter can make history" but it's about a lot more as well.
Another TED (Ideas Worth Sharing) presentation. (Keep tabs on this site.)

Google Wave on the horizon
Goggle really DOES want to take over the world!
It will happen with a willing world creating millions of "Google waves," which will take the place of or at least dominate other providers offering blogs, wikis, chats, shared media, and social networking hubs. Yikes! It can do it all INSTANTLY! so why would anyone go anywhere else to do anything?
Due to roll out in the fall, this video shows the Wave creators pitching their product to developers so that there will be a whole world of apps to add on and make the wave immediately imbedded in everything we do online. See for yourself.
I keep thinking about how she said, "the more we used it the more we realized it was changing the way we think," and how he said, "we're trying to come up with a happy medium between instant communication and having enough time to write/create without interruptions. This product really is going to change our lives.
Welcome to Web 3.0, brought to you by Google.
And I can't help but worry about those who don't have the Internet, or don't have the skills, or who don't have a social network. The Digital Divide is widening exponentially.

Diversity in Action: Welcome to Taft!
I put this piece together quickly to promote my high school to middle schools here in LA. Our diversity is our strength --- I see, on a daily basis, people of all types working, playing, and learning together, and I have faith in our globalized future!
