Hi Riva

You are what you eat, you are what you think, you behave according to your association.

Technology has a deterministic dimension. Consider the impacts of the telephone, the Internet, the motor car, the bicycle, the movie camera. Did people run away in disgust, or did they slavenly follow?

It was Thomas Edison who quipped that "inventions" (technology), should benefit mankind. The definition of that benefit is relative to the people accepting and using the technology.

I may face the possibility of disappointment, but I am still going to give it a try. I'll treat it as an experiment, and reserve my emotional state for later. Leadership is moving into the possibilities. This challenge is technically and logically possible. So why be like so many people who had an idea nad was talked out of trying to see if it worked or not?

Life's too short to waste time, and if one does not do what one's passion and heart dictate, then the only one left to blame for the regrets will be oneself.

Naturally, these elements may be extruded into organizations, seeing as we are all people. I disagree that we are animals, but it is known that our lower brain has major animalistic capabilities. That is why choice is so important, and leadership develops options. Most people have very few options. All my project will do is offer them an extra option in life. Such is the nature of KM. It makes life interesting.
