Comments Re: 2.0 - Lesson #23

These are not one-hour lessons. They are valuable and horizon expanding and I definitely need some indepth study since I'm not a "teckie". If one is a beginner, the language is not familiar and usually no definition of terms was given = frustrating and inhibiting.

Overdrive - #22 lesson

It is a modern-day miracle to be able to download music and books from the Internet, and this is a wonderful service JPL provides. If I chose a book to download to my MP3 or computer, the first would be "Mere Christianity" by the indomintable C. S. Lewis.

Lesson 22 - Overdrive

Podcast - Lesson #21

In Podcast, lesson 21, I learned there are businesses that have podcasts from time to time to get input from their customers so they can improve, above all, customer service. I listened to Starbucks' presentation & their CEO will hold a podcast, 9/5/08, 3 pm. Starbucks has learned that people REALLY want personal service--not automation--and don't want to stand in a "cow line" to be eventually served by the lowest paid employee. He recommended www.dialahuman.com to find ways to get immediately to a real person in many firms.

I enjoyed learning that Starbucks is into personal service, well done.

In Zoho, one has features like those in Microsoft with additional features such as smiley faces and color background and capability to add pictures.

Technology can never replace the human interaction to promote faster, easier learning. Technology is great IN ITS PLACE.
