Jeffrey, this is a process I felt most strongly in the EVO session OpenwebPublishing with Bee in 2007.
I think that by learning to accept alternative perspectives, we give oursleves more depth of being (not just learning), but the way to opening up for this kind of process can be painful.
I see my kids living in the digital world, accepting certain changes as given, yet they are also in a mind set and are often more than a little inflexible and unwilling to accept different approaches, ideas or thinking outside of the box.

If kids are like this already, how hard it becomes as an adult who has stuck with just one way of thinking, learning, communicating, etc to make this change!
