Ben,

Very good point. We aren’t there yet. It’s a bit like the stages of grief — first denial (social media? what’s social media?) Then anger (what the hell …why do I need write my story and blog, too.) I think we’re in stage three now: bargaining (Ok, I’ll join Twitter and Linked In, but I won’t like it or understand it.)

We need to get to the next stage (acceptance) and beyong that to invention.
