Anyone want to discuss moving forward on the Big Island in this new "Digital" world that scares many people on the Big Island?
If we don't start adapting to things in the real world... we will continue to be behind.
Is this what we want?
Had a conversation about putting children's pictures on my blog... with a few people... obviously people are freaked out on the net here on this Island.
Today... ended up signing an agreement as a parent with Kamehameha Schools that our kids beginning at Kindergarten would be on on the internet... don't like it... Tell us now... and your child won't be accepted.
Now you tell me... looking at almost $200,000 in money paid towards my son's education through Kam Schools in the next 13 years and I'm gonna tell them... "No...don't put my son's picture on the internet"
Well needless to say I signed my son up.
Do we continue to hold back on the big island?
What is feared by technology?
I don't understand why so many fear the internet... and this INCLUDES OUR OWN GOVERNMENT here on the Big Island.
Let's get real... anyone want to start a dialog on the digital revolution that we are going through on the Big Island without throwing arrows?
Funniest thing... we as parents were watching the Kamehameha video that they give to new students at Kam...
Well the kids there learn how to write a blog in elementary school....
And all of the teachers have blogs already... I'll let you find them.
