Something else of which I am certain: new tools get used in old and suboptimum ways initially preceding our learning how that doesn't work. Inherently, I just don't think there is any way to go about it, because otherwise, we are having to make something from nothing, conceptually. In some cases, fortunately, we break free of the mould [for example, few think of the PC as a glorified typwriter any more, but many did two decades ago when it was introduced in offices]; alas in others we never do. Why we succeed sometimes and fail other times is something worth a major research project. All true and worth considering.

It's time to think out of the box and to start leveraging some new and innovative ideas on how to use these tools for what they are and not only for doing exactly what others have been doing with them all along. You got a post in my news section. Happy new year! Robin Hats for such a good article.
