USA Today
In the USA today as well as today's USA Today are couple of notions and articles that are related. Sometimes I think our posts here are picked up fast and this was one on those times because on Friday there was a nice article and candid discussion regarding "people skills". The USA Today article's revolve around the breakdown of Command and Control and this article is like that.

The USA today is big on participation and almost every school fosters communication via the use of computers - email, blog and chat. Apparently, fewer than 10 percent of those in the educational system avoid computers now and that eventually will dwindle to nothing because professors require students to do at least a portion of their work on-line. Some make assignments at the last minute to force students to get on-line and of course many of the universities now have alert services about terrorism that are e-text based.

So how ironic - the terrorists in trying to forestall western values regarding slavery (domestic and work place) have unwittingly created more open US-educational-style institutions and a new bread of anti-command-control (yes master) worker bees. These folks are critical thinkers not likely to value peoples feelings so highly that they stay silent when perceiving wrong doing.

Rejoice at this time of year. The stories of this time are about the breakdown of dictatorships and the command and control of the network administrators (Hee hee a bit of a tease).

Lets turn every US work place into a learning environment full of direct, logical and even narrative communication styles and less of that emotional "wants wrong with polygamy if everyone is happy and they have money" group.
