Technology is, indeed, a huge part of our lives in the 21st century. Did you read about the man buried under rubble in a Haitian hotel for 65 hours who used his iPhone to help him survive? Quite a story. But how many of us use our techie gadgets to help us survive the hours of everyday? Perhaps more than we would like to admit. In all of this, finding, evaluating and using information creatively is so important.
"I am led to believing that the whole point of knowledge making in the new age is to train people to search for information, evaluate it, rewrite it, publish it, add a personal touch to it, and take advantage of feedback from whoever cares to give feedback."
