PodCast ideas!

Some topics I'm kicking around for my podcast are these.
1. getting with my nephew and talking about "bullying". He has a lot to say about the topic and its interesting hearing it from a 6 year old perspective. It all depends on how clearly he can articulate.

2. Divorce,  I wanted to get my brother and sister together and talk about my parents divorce. It was in 2002 and its been a considerable amount of time and think it will be interesting to hear our perspectives.

3. Bartenders and servers.  I wanted to do a round table podcast with fellow employees of mine who work in the food service industry. I want to get there takes on that industry.  Trust me it would be interesting.

Advantages and Limitations

Because of technology I'm abled to keep in contact with all my friends and family, even those who don't live in the same city as me. Technology keeps me connected to the news and things going on in my city, state, country and world via the Internet, television, applications, social networks and podcasts.  I am able to search for any answers i have on a daily basis about trivial things through technology in an instant and that has made me wiser and more informed.  However technology does have its limitations.  The biggest limitation i can think of is that it creates a wall between people and their interactions. Technology is a poor substitute for face to face human interaction/connection.  It also gives people a scapegoat for avoiding  "in person"confrontation, they have become more willing to discuss about necessary and confrontational topics via text or e-mail to avoid any huge fight or face to face awkwardness.  This might eliminate any awkwardness or feelings getting hurt but it only prolongs the inevitable because most often discussions through text, e-mail etc are taken out of context, and most often the root of the problem isn't fixed.
