Now that we are almost finished with our course, Technology in the NFP I am going to say that there seems to be lot of trends in technology, social media, and on line engagement. We talked about the ever changing needs just in designing this course each year, it is apparent from this perspective alone. What is a hot item today, is remembered only in brief passing these days. Big as it is, Facebook hasn't had a double digit birthday yet, and maybe won't live to see one. Google keeps adding new things, morphing to stay in the game. Its all relative, but is it all just a flash in the pan? And as consumers and users are we never satisfied with what we have, always looking for the next big thing? Rather than thinking of this as a trend, I am beginning to feel like I am learning about a fad. I should be more cautious, thats what I said about computers in 1973, and look where we are today. I should have been paying more attention.
Is this the speed we can expect technology to travel, or is it one more sign of or disposable society ?
