Video Friday - Maslow's Hammer
Yes, it is snowing today April 1. It's no April's fool joke, just Mother Nature doing what she does best in New England, changing regularly.
Why this video today?
To raise the other side of the technology coin. Technology is a tool and can be used or abused. There is Maslow's Hammer: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
The internet does provide an easy (read 'free') entry to providing information. The RSA Animate video provides the other side of the coin. Food for thought today!
