As those of us on this side of the digital divide grow in our acceptance of technology as "a basic necessity of life" we may see more social ministries distributing it to the 'not haves'. It seems homeless people would be greatly benefited by the opportunity to stay in close touch with family members (or any supports for that matter). Good idea. Let us know if it materializes.

We are struggling with the issues raised here as we try to think through making a blog which will help the homeless people be heard in our community. Ideas, reflections, welcome! That’s fascinating.

It occurs to me that if you are an early-adopter (as I am; and I hazard a guess that your readership tends that direction), you might (we all might) spend some thinking time (yes, allotting a portion of our intellectual budget) on "do we know what we’re gaining and what we’re losing in our specific context with the specific media we’re employing". Believe me, I for one love to pull the squeaky shrink-wrap off of fascinating (read shiny, new) media and run with it, but I think there is really something to the notion that the the mode of delivery -- the envelope in which we send the Message -- can have a profound effect on how the Message is accepted/entertained/considered.

I was thinking earlier today, how my ability to communicate clearly and unambiguously verbally has been lifted by my experience of writing on line. I believe it has also improved my ability to focus on one topic in depth for a sustained period of time, as I take away a thought from a blog post, read around it, struggle with it, and return to argue around it in a new way. It has released me from preoccupation with the mediocrity of television, and enabled most of my daily conversations to be with people who have something really interesting to say. After reading Shane's quote I guess my experience must be atypical!
