Networking

I’ve noticed that I haven’t been really active with my blog for a while and so I promise to write more content – not simply content but substantial content – for my readers.

Anyway, here’s what I’ve been up to recently:

• E-mailing Sean Parker, founder of Napster and founding president of Facebook
• Connecting with Dale Stephens, founder of the UnCollege Movement
• Chatting with Michael Ellsberg, author of the book Education of Millionaires: It’s Not What
You Think and It’s Not Too Late

Why would I want to link up with such famous and well-connected people such as them?, you might ask. The truth is, as of now, I am still unsure as to why I am doing this. Is it due to pride, or arrogance, or to distinguish myself, or perhaps due to the thirst for success.

But what I am sure of is this: modern technology has changed (and is changing) society to the point that it has made what was once impossible a reality now. The very fact that I am able to send a message to these distinguished men – regardless if they reply or not – is a testament to how technology has been able to creatively disrupt our world. And I also believe that not using this technology – this capability – in the modern world is not anymore ignorance but rather stupidity – plain, outright stupidity.

In my case, I simply used it for networking.

  1. Pretty fantastic article. My partner and i only just stumbled upon your blog site and also preferred to say that have seriously enjoyed reading your web site blogposts. In any case I’ll become subscribing in your posts and also I hope an individual write-up yet again soon.
