The Internet provides a lively space to exchange ideas and didactic information. We move people when there is more to be gained by F-T-F gatherings. Virtual exchanges can be synchronous as well as asynchronous, so the benefits for F-T-F need to outweigh what can be done by either mode. Some of the issues and opportunities include meeting in a venue that exceeds the visual and audio impact of a virtual meeting- Examples would be demonstrations, participatory events, building confidence in going virtual by exercises and instruction, and, bringing in participants whose ability to go virtual may be limited

I am interested in building within MN Futurists membership skills that make click space a transparent vehicle for sharing ideas and actions and would like to see ideas discussed in this space.
