writer larry gelbart (tv's M*A*S*H and many others) had a great quote this week about balancing technology and talent. at least, i think that's what he was getting at.

“I think technology is such that we can reach new heights but we need some of the basics of the pre-technological age. It’s counter-productive to be able to type a hundred words a minute but not know what the words mean. “

rather than turn this into a blog post, i've written about the interview on my Clogged Blog, http://voices2go.wordpress.com/with links to the original source.

but i thought i'd drop this golden nugget of thought here on the vo-bb for your edification.

I particularly like the first comment posted to your blog post - certainly an offer you can't refuse. Wink

ewww...

actually, an offer i not only can refuse, but one i obliterated. i got enough tadpoles.

i guess embarassment is a risk in trying something new (in this case, the web blog).

the management dashboard has been altered accordingly. thank you for the warning.

What a great quote! I'm at a conference right now where we are talking a LOT about new technologies for presentation of material at science centers and planetariums. And, I am going to bring up that quote at our next panel discussion!
