This was a very interesting and thought provoking piece and as someone who works in social media every day, I find it very relevant. I am so glad that I read it because I don’t watch the news (except to listen to Canada AM peripherally in the mornings sometimes) or read newspapers and I didn’t know that Kevin Newman has stepped down from his anchor job with Global. I did watch him from time to time because I met him when I was working for entertainment lawyer, Michael Levine, in Toronto, and I liked him so much and have so much respect for him as a broadcaster. His coverage of Hurricane Katrina and the tragedy in New Orleans stands out in my mind.

Technology is changing so rapidly that it’s utterly exhausting to try to keep up with it. I’m always flailing behind and yet I know that I know much more than many people my age and older. The world is changing and the way we get our information has definitely changed. It is important to be willing to learn new things all the time because if we don’t, we’re going to be left behind in a world that will have no place for us.

By the way, my dog definitely likes to rock to Bono!
