What Are We So Scared Of?

People are scared.
People are scared of other people.
People are scared of the future.
People are scared of technology.

Why? I don't know. -- But becoming comfortable with change is an important first step in the future of eBuiness. This video will be a great opening for a workshop.

Technology is a good thing. It is all around us, used every day, all day, for good and tangible reasons. When teaching introductory classes to social media, one of my most asked questions is "Does my business have to "do" social media? It is so time consuming" Nope, you do not have to. But living here on earth, we find the plant has recently grown a "central nervous system" that you (and your business) belong to. Be active or be passive, it's your call. Where do you want to reside on the DIKW pyramid?
