RE: tech enriching our lives while eliminating b.s. artists

p.s. i certainly do not claim to know it all and unfortunately /will/ never know it all. however, i do have the ability to admit that which i do not know and do not attempt to "snow" people with rhetoric.

its a simple equation, really (and quite self-serving):

someone mentions something i know nothing about and i pretend like i know to avoid "looking dumb." the outcome of that is you still don't know what it is and eventually it will make you look dumb.

someone mentions something i know nothing about and i admit i do not comprehend, but ask for further explanation. the outcome of this is i learn something new and give that person the opportunity to further hone their understanding by putting it in a way i can understand.

win-win!!

now where are my deliverables?...
