I mostly agree ... but I also think that certain media/platforms/services can play a dual role, e.g. TV didn't die because educational programs were shown. Some kids learned how to switch to other channels, others saw the value of the programs in helping them pass the exams and continued watching the educational shows. If you differentiate within the same platform it givers users a choice -- so perhaps MXit should develop eduMXit and put all it's educational stuff there. Perhaps we all need two post boxes: one for bills and one for presents, birthday cards and wedding invites ... and we might see the return of snail mail :-)</p>Steve VoslooThu, 29 Oct 2009 23:59:58 -0000
