What a world; What a world

I made today's video while on a recent snorkel trip. The yellowbar angel fish were beautiful but a bit freaked out when I tried to film them.

It just blows my mind how some folks think 'being bad' is acceptable behaviour. Stepping aside from any potential theological insights, if human beings were to consistently behave in ways that hurt their fellow human beings, we would not survive for very long as a species. Humans are not that different from ants or honey bees. We require a complex society structure to not only survive but to thrive. As we begin the painful first gulps of air (metaphorically speaking) as we reach out and grasp and use technology, how will the technology affect our societies?

I was reading a post by an acquaintance on a networking site, when I encountered what was a new term to me: "flash mob." Here's a link to a definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob Upon reading further down the Wikipedia page, you will see a link for the book Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution by Howard Rheingold. I don't know anything about this book. Have any of you every heard of it? Is it worth reading?

Remember: "We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Can you guess or do you know who said it? Hint: it's a pretty old quote.

Peace.
