    This author brings up the question that I've wrestled with before: just because we can, does it mean that we should? Or should our abilities always go to make us more human?

    This is such a scary topic but something that needs to be thought about. This has happened in our own town, instead of helping, people are video taping someone being beat up. I wonder though how this happens? Does it happen because it can or we have the technology to allow it or has the moral compass of our nation changed so that we don't see anything wrong with it? Crazy article.

    Did you watch the "This American Life' cartoon? That is exactly what you are describing, where even the premise of creating news shows altered how kids behaved in the face of a situation that called for social action. It raises the question for me of "should the kids know more how to operate the high tech camera, or when to step out from behind it and act?"

    Yeah I watched the cartoon and saved it in hopes that I can show it to my students one day and have that discussion. I think they NEED to know how to step out and act - being a good person and citizen should always be number one and if they do that then they will use their technology for the best things! I love these diigo posts - thanks!
