The Shelly Palmer School of Connected Living has one primary thesis: "Technology is good." I believe that all technological progress is good and that the story of the evolution of mankind is inextricably linked to the story of the evolution of our technology. We are tool builders, and we are tool users. It is, in large measure, what separates us from virtually every other species in the known universe.

Choosing to not understand how the Internet works is no longer an acceptable option, especially for those tasked with regulating it. The late Ted Stevens made Congress's ignorance of the World Wide Web famous when he said the Internet isn't a dump truck, but a series of tubes.

Word of mouth is not channel neutral. One cannot automatically generalize the results from online to offline." This is particularly relevant in light of the fact that social media – despite its rapid rise to prominence – still accounts for less than 10% of all word of mouth.
