Moral compass

26 12 2007

David Pogue, the technology writer for The NewYork Times whose blog posts I read each week, had an interesting tale he posted on Dec 20, 2007 about the ethics of downloading and copying music etc., and the generational differences between his audience responses.

It’s already generated more than 250 interesting comments! I especially liked Bill Shepherd’s comment (#4).





‘The simple truth of service’

I was sent a link to this inspirational three-minute movie today: http://www.stservicemovie.com/

Take 3 minutes out of your day to watch it—you may never forget it.

(For more movies in this vein, go to the main page: http://www.simpletruths.com/movies/; another one that got me was http://www.appreciationmovie.com/—being an ex-teacher and knowing plenty of other ex-teachers, this one struck home)
