I'm been very productive today, laundry, dishes, gardening, even cleaned my garden tools. Now I'm sitting at the kitchen table listening to Radio Riel and feeling like a dinosaur. Which doesn't really make sense. Maybe it's more a sense of "am I the only one?" I blog (obviously, all sarcasm intended), use Twitter, Flickr, Second Life, EMAIL even. I've been working on building a PLN (personal learning network) because life long learning was how I was raised.
Yet... my parents don't have a computer, my brother barely checks email, even the extended family is just scratching the surface of online life. My sister-in-law is more connected, although it is more limited to consumption rather than creation (mobility issues hamper typing etc.) The in-laws are online more, but also more as consumers than creators. The majority of my friends are the same.
Am I going to have to bite the bullet? Am I actually going to have to join Facebook just to keep in touch with my own family and friends? I think I'd rather keep using the phone.
