I recommend Mumball, laser tag, and karaoke to get started. Also, why doesn't the J-School have a fully stocked minibar? I'm telling you, add booze and games and you'll get that newsroom vibe you're looking for. Poulson, what you need are some team-building exercises.

David observes that the information chaos has found a more direct route to the brain of the new age writer-journalist. I suspect a new kind of brain process is taking over that requires less direct social contact and more emphasis on virtual context. I am thinking that the future for all of us is more information overload. Our fingers, tongues and word smiting methods cannot keep up with the demand of information flowing in the air around us now. As the next wave of energy comes over to sweep into our consciousness we become more droid and less human each day. Now more than ever we need to smell some roses and pet a cat and laugh with someone we like while touching our head with our own hand to remind ourselves of the connection we can still have with a nonvirtual experience. We need to pet ourselves to remember we are more than words, symbols and images. We need to touch the person next to us from time to time to remember we are first human and after that just thinking about it. Thanks for the opportunity to think about this silent yet raging chaos we have created. Zman The article made me consider the chaos in our own mind and with our own need to exist.
