I think that this constant and consistent viewpoint is presented far too often in Student Affairs. Technology has somehow become frozen in time for student affairs folks. It maintains a student affairs culture that never has to learn, adapt, and create. The technology status quo for most student affairs admins is nurtured by a plethora of sessions which claim that email, cell phones, instant messaging, mp3's, etc. are "emerging". p.s. I love that my site will forever be the link for "fear sessions." LOL. I agree that labeling technologies that are 10 years old as “emerging” is disheartening.
