Call it evolution. Put whatever prefix you want to in front of it, but the fact is stuff changes. Technology changes, relationships change, and most importantly ideas change. Sometimes we need a boost to get to that point of change. I’ll admit that I’m often guilty of that. Sometimes we’re so tied up in the middle of change; we don’t realize we’re part of it. I think that’s a better way to describe my problem. I can imagine myself as the caveman that makes fire, but still likes sushi. It takes someone else giving me a nice juicy steak for me to realize what to use my fire for.

If you haven’t noticed yet, TGG is big on the whole social media thing. Brad often presents “Web 2.0 and Your Bank� at tradeshows and conferences. We all blog, or at least we try to.

If that sounds like where you’re at, if you don’t know what makes sites like Digg, YouTube, and Wikipedia different from pets.com, I’d highly recommend you check out a series that’s currently running on the Science Channel. Download: The True Story of the Internet chronicles the history of the world wide web. The story telling is hip and fast-paced and most importantly informative. It goes a step further than just telling the stories though, it encourages you to get involved. Hey it encouraged me to write this blog.

Schedules for Download: The True Story of the Internet can be found here.
