The stakes seem high, and unfortunately they are. Personally, I enjoy the challenge of computers and the web, and am a participant by choice not pressure. I do, however, completely understand that digital is not for everyone, in the same way no religion or political belief is correct for everyone. It's my goal to write about this stuff in a comforting way, and help those through it who are lost, intimidated, or defeated. Those who catch the wave almost always have a good time once they know how to ride.
Information is power.
It's far better to understand than to fear. The World Wide Web has brought people, platforms, and operating systems together that were never intended to necessarily mix. With that comes controversy, greed, very high stakes, and a sense of panic. If I can do anything to alleviate that fear and instead instill my own sense of excitement and fascination, my job will be done.
