In an afterthought, at the end of this post, Jason Kottke brings to light something we seriously need to think about. Although it is obvious, it has snuck up on us. All of us have actually had the thought, but how many of us have pointed it out?
“You’ve got to wonder when Apple is going to change the name of the iPhone. The phone part of the device increasingly seems like an afterthought, not the main attraction”
Then I thought about training. Training is becoming more and more a subset. No longer can anyone look at it as the only main activity. (It never was, but that is another post.) There are so many things that surround training and learning that we need to decide when ‘training’ becomes part of something bigger and start to realize that it is, and always has been (or should have been) a feature of a larger whole.
True, training has a definate purpose with its very useful models and theories. I can’t knock the value of it. But it is not longer “it.”
It is time to redefine what “it” is.
