Reading is Overrated: Part Two

Many people thought I was crazy to voice the sentiments expressed in my article, Writing is Overrated. I feel a little vindicated to find that there is at least one other person -- this one with a pedigree!-- who shares the same views.

"The Power of Conversation

Paul Hartzog following up on a statement made by Dr. Tom Malloy of the University of Utah — “I don’t read anymore; I just talk to people who have.”

“When two people have a conversation, they act as proxies for the many ideas in their heads which are drawn from the many things they have read. In effect, a conversation is a many-to-many interaction that is both mediated and moderated by the participants. The individuals catalog, sort, tag, and filter ideas as they are drawn into the shared space of the conversation.”">elearningpost
