> We must bridge the gap between the techies and the rest of the population. This is sooooo important. Blogs existed before blogging platforms; it just was too hard for non-techies to do. Look how long email was around before AOL made it easy and fun. Wikipedia was possible before the wiki had been invented, but the wiki made it more accessible for everyone. Sure, people are gaining competence in computing, but we need to make things easier to use or consume as well! There's already a lot of great CS/technology out there that has so much potential if we can get more people to embrace it. It's half on people to adopt the new technology, but half on use to make the technology easily adoptable.
