No amount of technology is going to really help the problem of people not being aware of where they are logged in to, what tool is appropriate for any given communication circumstance, or basic etiquette. Technology definitely won't inject common sense into people. If organizations spent half as much money on technology training, real-life modeling and drafting and maintaining communications (human) standards as they did chasing after newfangled whizbangs and doodads we'd be able to spend time on technology that actually facilitates solving problems. That said, Google Wave is a cool doodad, very whizbangy and stuff. -- Samir Nassar Web Production Assistant University of Minnesota Extension Extension Center for Family Development 405 Coffey Hall 1420 Eckles Ave Saint Paul, MN 55108 612-625-8668
