Barely amusing...

People learn and accept things at different rates. And, not every tool is suitable for every job.

For people trying to figure out how to use social media, Twitter provides a great beginning. Maybe they will figure that out and grow into more, maybe not. I won't fault them for trying. In fact, I encourage them. As they become more familiar with the medium, they will grow in their understanding of how to use it better.

The tendency of early adopters and those who helped write the curriculum is to not understand that late adopters merely started later. They'll get there. Blasting them for not knowing everything at the outset is a foolish disservice.
