I thought it was greed, but perhaps not. Seriously, though, I did a little thinking about this myself last week but for a different reason. As you may know, I'm taking a class and we're studying the various learning theories and writing critiques of those. Our latest paper was about constructivism and there are virtually a dozen different "flavors" of that theory. One that caught my eye was cultural constructivism. While there are various definitions of that, essentially it refers to the different ways people construct knowledge as a result of the cultural artifacts, events, and knowledge that influence them during the construction. Computers and the internet have changed the way I think, the way I work, the way I communicate, and the way I am. I want access to everything, all the time, from everywhere.

I love to read what you write and I'm amused when I try to resolve the Doug in person that flips out a little tiny notebook in order to write by hand and the Doug who has a whole keyboard and screen in front of him to write. I was curious about your statement about having some problems yourself with your almost classic native background. What are the problems you mentioned? Are they really problems? Could they be classified in other ways? Karen Doug,

Instead of writing, you stimulate your visitors with different themes! I happen to like this theme - it's geometric and appeals to my sense of order. This is interesting.
