It's so nice to look back and see the same resistance, scorn and doubt was poured upon today's "old" media when it was trying to find it's feet, as new media such as virtual worlds receives today. The thing is that at least inside a related industry, the games industry, we're no longer fringe crazies. No, now we're mainstream crazies. ^_^ Thanks Jason for those words of wisdom and if it isn't too forward and too honest, I may regurgitate the quotes from your post when I need to explain to laggards and doubters that really they are the ones painting themselves into a corner of their own making. I actually think the laggards play an important role in the development of new ideas. Why? Because their resistance forces us to deal with our vulnerabilities and once we're truly buff, we can kick the old technology's butt. So we've gotta prove 'em wrong to actually be right! Right? Yeah!
