Zoho looks very interesting. Collaboration on a Career and College meeting in January will be possible and easily managed easier than with email. Three people are working on this, and we are not all in the same building or time schedule. It will be especially useful when I leave the state.
As we near the holidays, I can see this may be a fun way to set up a round-robin letter to the family. The computer "users" can add to it and the computer "reader-only" crowd will just enjoy.
Ok, the holiday letter idea had not occurred to me. What a great idea....I may steal that one entirely. Yes, I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteThe collaboration that is possible in today's web20 world is so amazing and to think that most of this has really come to the fore in just the last 5 years. The speed of information change is really getting to the point of what Alvin Tofler called Future Shock in his book of that title back in the 1970's. His premise was that the rapid explosion of knowledge would create a negative cognitive dissonance to the point that it would disrupt society. I think for kids though, there isn't any dissonance because they have grown up in an age of rapid digital change - it is us adults who are suffering from it, but not to the extent that he predicted. Which I suppose goes to show that humans really are adaptable.
