I ran into one of our IT Security Officers the other day in the ladies room. She overheard me talking about the the pICTsl Farm’s and the new Beach Club and we got to talking about Second Life and technology in general.
Unlike me, she’s been working in IT and with computers for 30 years. She told me that way back when it was hard getting folks to use computers. They weren’t sure why they should, what the benefit would be, since as far as they were concerned everything was just fine the way it was.
She said it was games and fun things to do with computers that got people into using them. Even in the workplace, people were encouraged to play and play around with computers.
That was a great story, I thought. It confirmed my intuition. Beach Club here we come! Hoo!
