6. The Internet is enabling conversations among human beings that were simply not possible in the era of mass media.

7. Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy.

9. These networked conversations are enabling powerful new forms of social organization and knowledge exchange to emerge.

11. Participation in a networked market changes people fundamentally. People in networked markets have figured out that they get far better information and support from one another than from vendors.

Seth Godin

Can you capture something you see on your screen and paste it into Word or PowerPoint?Do you have a blog?Can you open a link you get in an email message?Do you read more than five blogs a day?Do you have a signature in your outbound email?Do you have an RSS reader?Can you generate a PDF document from a Word file you're working on?Do you know how to build and share a simple spreadsheet using Google Docs?Do have a shortcut for sending mail to the six co-workers you usually write to?Are you able to find what you're looking for on Google most of the time?Do you fall for internet hoaxes and forward stuff to friends and then regret it?…

Can you imagine someone who works in a factory that processes metal not knowing how to use a blowtorch?

How can you imagine yourself as a highly-paid knowledge worker and not know how to do these things... If you don't, it's not hard to find someone to teach you.
