Karaoke on Bourbon Street on a Saturday night. All those out-of-towners suddenly unleashed and on the prowl in the Big Easy....ahhh the cleanup is pretty stinky....and they aren't half as "melodious" as they think they are, but they are really, really loud. Brian-I see that, but you are sooooo much more patient than I. Do I see the headlines of a fun post here? Dean...biggest guffaw of the morning , thanks ; ) Needed that Dean. :) ))) Yes!

Technology does not change human nature... it amplifies it. Janice, I’ve been butting heads with the “social media utopians” for the last two years over this very issue.

Instead of climbing up the steps they were throwing themselves at the slide and letting their body weight drop them to the ground....I'm thinking nahhh, we're not there yet. ( or it could be a guy thing...) Glad it is not just me, she says to the curmudgeon in the room. :) “But every generation will produce people who think evolution has leaped ahead of itself”

People have not changed their basic nature for a million years. And they won't change for another million. Feelings and motivations ARE hardwired in many respects. But every generation will produce people who think evolution has leaped ahead of itself and they will run around like headless chickens cackling and misleading people into waisting billions on unproven ideas. Sounds curmudgeonly, but it's true. You’re right on, Janice. People have not changed their basic nature for a million years. And they won’t change for another million.

In the last few weeks I have noticed so much echo about new media being "the way"...maybe it's me, but my head tilts and I think...it's a tool, people, it's a tool. I just have a hard time thinking that people have changed that much when it comes to purchasing behaviors...oh the mode maybe, but not the psychology. I'm thinking that is wired into our DNA and unless we've become bionic.... yeah, it's probably just me. Great tips here. No matter what media.
