It's definitely easier to implement a tool or two than try for systemic change, and I said that skills development is necessary. I still think that it won't be enough and that a new work relationship with these new media is necessary as well as inevitable. I'm not attacking workliteracy.com, as I believe it fills a void. I'm just trying to define the larger context of where "work" is going and how we can help shape it.

Without social media skills, it will be even more difficult for workers to handle what I believe will be major shifts in how we work and live. The tectonic stresses of population; energy; environment; climate and economics are very serious and quite real.
