This AM I received an email from a friend and associate who seemed annoyed with some recent postings on the listserv we both subscribe to. She posed thoughts about whether or not it was time to censor some posts or to put the listserv to pasture.
It brought to mind that over the years communication has evolved from grunts and shouts into “tweets”. Reminds me of the cave man to what I look like at the computer:
From the cave to the computer
We now have so many blogs that it has become a must for a website! We listen in sound bytes…we tweet and text…we watch YouTube, trailers… Do we think in paragraphs anymore?
Listservs have been used by companies and associations for the 20 most recent years as a way for employees and members to communicate with each other. Has the listserv as a static means of communication passed its prime?
Or not… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0512-BOsk
