Look for yourself during this session
Reflect on your role as anon-digital native in a
digital world
Questions are eternal, answers are for the day. And when you find a way of genuinely
rephrasing the question, you allow far more thought. The way you conceptualize the
question already determines the range of answers you can conceive.
Edwin Friedman
