[Dialogue] Nostalgia for another time?

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

I participated with 30,000 people in a seminar today with Craig  Hamilton 
on "The Key to Evolving Beyond Ego." Nice not to have to travel.

Interesting,  as of yesterday there are 75,000 students in  Stanford
University online class.

As of yesterday the class was,  apparently organized into 12,500 teams
of 6 each team with its own webpage  with members, emails, bios and ad
a startup project.

All of my team  members are in or near San Jose Costa Rica where I live
so we can meet in  person and on site or online via google+hangouts or
skype. All of my team  members know how to do video conferencing.

In New York City the  team-gathering principle must be something like a
zip code and in Iowa it  must be a county or municipality.

Imagine 12, 500 teams around the  world working in parallel on how to
innovate with recorded video clips and  work assignments for
live-action projects

It seems silly even  parochial and exclusivist  to have local meetings
in seminar rooms and  local church basements that are not also
available on the  internet.

I hope that
-ICA-USA,
-the Nepal Conference,
-ToPs  training and conference events

begin finding and using examples of  effective onsite AND online
communication like this well organized Stanford  U class on Innovation.

Talk about local<-> global  interchange...

Having solitary isolated planning events and  conferences, swapping
emails and sharing text threads and on wedgblade and  ICA-USA.org is
interesting but seems like nostalgia for another time don't  you think?
