Standing in a line at the bank yesterday (I know, I know. Standing in a line at a bank is so 2G), I overheard two African Americans talking about Facebook and Twitter. One individual was a female apparently in her late 60s; the other a male in his mid-forties. They were sharing their observations about young people were so connected to and buy these two social networks.
What struck me was their conclusion that today’s technology was a sign of the end of times. I rarely discuss religion, but the discussion raised the issue in my mind as to whether religious views may be hindering adoption?
The bank conversation harkened me back to a sermon delivered in my hometown church back around 1979 where the pastor, a man I have the most utmost respect, love, and admiration for, made a similar comment about a satellite that was expected to crash in Australia. In a rare moment of bravery (given that my favorite cartoon hero is Courage the Cowardly Dog, my acts of bravery are rare), I raised my hand in the middle of the sermon and told him that he was wrong. I said it was not the end of the world and briefly explained the science behind it.
Since I’m writing this post, it’s obvious that I lived to tell the tale. Seriously though, if a certain segment of our community is taking a fatalistic view toward technology, won’t that make the technology harder to adopt?

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
