Kim Cofino had a video on her post of Jane Goodall. She spode at YIS about he life story. The story centered around her supportive mother and the help she provided to her as a young child. She helped in a way that wasn't scornful, but of pure concern and comfort. This is actually the right way of parenting, but many parents don't have positive role models of parents growing up, therefore, their parenting skills would show sometimes.

An example she gave was: She had a handful of earthworms to bed as a toddler and her mother's reaction was not of disgust, but of laughter. Being honest and concerend. She taught her that the earth worms simply needed soil to survive. I think the way we talk to out children and also peers can have a big effect on the outcome of a situation.

Jeff Utecht wrote a post on his thoughts of technology. His guess was, every mobile device in 3 years will have the built-in ability to connect to a cellular network. Their already doing it, but it will just become part of the hardware of every mobile device. I believe this to a certain extent. I don't belive their will be connection to every device, but I do believe it will be to most of them (more than present time).

He also said we need to stop making excuses for all the time spent connected to the internet and realize that this is actually the world we live in now. This is so so true. We are in a technological world and technology is only advancing. People should get with it or get left without it. We live in a socially connected world. Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Skype, etc... 92% of employers now are or plan to use social-networks.
