http://www.downes.ca/post/38502 Things Your Really Need to Learn

These ten things that Downes has pointed out are indeed quality attributes to posses. Reading his posting made me question why we were required to read such a posting in a Technology course, and I am a bit puzzeled. I do think it is valuable to consider the posting as an example of what can be communicated through blogging spaces and the internet in general. These ten points are not demanded of us from law, or even culture, but I doubt very much that any one of us would consdier them irrelevent. Reading another person's blog, and considering that another person has taken the time to share his views about these qualities is a comforting reflection for me because it casts an optimistic glow on the capacity for wisdom that my neighbours can posses. While Downes is not my next door neighbour, he is a sort of virtual neighbour as I now am a resident of Blogsville.
