The larger your classrooms and venues, the more vulnerable you become to the needs and demands of others. But you also are enriched by the energy and care that is given back, too. I'm very verbal, very passionate, and very ambitious. Those qualities can serve to inspire, or they can turn into depression and egocentricity. Essentially, this is a call to people to contribute their gifts for some higher purpose.
Teaching is a great way to fulfill that goal.

But most people experience the Web as being a visual experience. With the rise in interest for wireless applications, there's a shift back to thinking simplistically, in terms of text, very limited capabilities, and so on.
