Techno-Num Nut!
Ok, I hope this title did not offend anyone. I am not speaking of anyone in particular. You see today I am sitting in a workshop called "The Native are Restless: Reaching the GT student through technology." Sounds interesting, I am sure, to those of you who are not in education, to me however it sounded great. "Right up my alley" However, we have been in here for two hours and all he has taught me was how to use MySpace.com and now how to Blog. I am not lying or stretching the truth at all. So as I use my time wisely I decided to update my blog. Now this is where my bloggin brain starts to gripe! Why is it that advertisements never state the truth. Would it be so hard in our fast paced culture to just come right out and say... this is a boring class on stuff you already know, or this car is really not a good deal. Why!?! Don't we as consumers want the truth? Or Are we so fascinated by pretty words and hype that we still buy into this nonsense? Stay tuned this might get better!!

I think conferences in general never live up to what you think they are going to be. That has been my experience . Would you ever go or be tempted to buy a product if they told the truth? The truth is never as glamorous.
Maybe living in Japan has created a numbness against commercials...we never understand them here, so haven't really seen any "truthful" or "untruthful" commercials to our knowledge. The American commercials, we ignore...as we know we can't get the items here or shipped here. Oh the things we have to look forward to in a few years!
