2. How might it compare with and influence what you already do?
While I use technology to make my personal and professional life more efficient, and I have used technology as a network to collaborate and grow through my hobbies and personal interests, I haven’t fully realized technology as a collaborative tool professionally.
3. What concerns you?
There are some technology tools in which I am simply uninterested, and many of them seem to create a guise of impersonality and anonymity that I think has the potential to breed misinformation and/or a lack of personal responsibility. There are a lot of people behaving in ways that they wouldn’t in face-to-face social interactions. Likewise, there is a lot of inaccurate and irresponsible information being disseminated.

4. What excites you?
The prospect of learning about tools of which I was previously unaware.
