Future.

"Silicon Valley entrepreneurs mostly view cultural, institutional, governance and even dating issues as technology challenges waiting to be solved. But the challenge and promise of a new future must be addressed holistically. The creations coming out of Silicon Valley in the form of apps, devices and software platforms are not so much facilitating a 'race against the machines,' but a race against our own social institutions, values and practices, and that is the future."

Switch.

"The online learning partnership offsets some of the disadvantages that can come with being a high-achieving student in a small, isolated school district, providing the chance to take challenging academic courses that many schools can't offer."

In which part of this wiring is your switch?

Fear.

Interesting technophobia thought that came upon between the forum chat with my E-tourism students: It is OK if we are afraid of things we do not know. But fear can not be the reason for not trying to explain these things and learn to use them right.

Can be applied to xenophobia in multicultural environments also...
