Love Hurts

danah boyd reminds us not to fall in love with technology, not to expect miracles from it, not to assume people will automatically adopt it.

“How people embrace technology has less to do with the technology itself than with the social setting in which they are embedded.”

“There are also no such things as ‘digital natives.’ … Most of you have a better sense of how to get information from Google than the average youth.”

…”keep in mind that the technology that you adore may hold no interest for your students.”
