Your observation about word processing helped bring it home for me Joan. I can now easily see where my own resistance to change may lie.

But whenever we humans move to a new communicative medium, we always start by using the methods from the medium we previously used. Many (teachers) are still using wordprocessing as a typewriter with a few gagets added, rather than seeing (and teaching) the compositional elements such as the Outline View and even Styles. When change happens in less than a generation, it is hard to marry the old and the new, and students and education are suffering because they can't be kept the old medium and are being abandoned in the new.
