People complained about the telephone, television and even the telegraph when they were invented, claiming that they would forever ruin the bonds of human community. Those inventions, along with the Internet, have certainly changed things–some for the better (long-distance communication), some for the worse (trolls).</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.worldwidelearn.com/worldwideblog/education-general/blog-roundup-92208-is-technology-helping-or-hurting/"><P>But human nature has some fundamentals to it that aren’t going to evolve away anytime soon. We still want to connect, we still want to learn and (frankly) we still want to insult people. We’ll continue to come up with new ways to do it, but I doubt that any one technology, no matter how revolutionary it is, has the chance to fundamentally alter human behavior.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/98F44EC9-3BC6-4D32-A6AB-7243686A73D2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
