I think the video is interesting. There is a lot information we can learn from it and we can use it to make sure we have good sources for any research projects we have to do.

New Fact: In 1985, he became involved in the WELL, a “computer conferencing” system. He started writing about life in my virtual community and ended up with a book about the cultural and political implications of a new communications medium, The Virtual Community.

It is a very interesting video and I agree with him. I am writing a research paper about Social Media and Internet for my ENG class and I think it would be great to use his video as one of the five sources that I have to use since he has very important information about these topics.

According to Howard Rheingold in his website, rehingold.com, "In 1994, I was one of the principal architects and the first Executive Editor of HotWired. I quit after launch, because I wanted something more like a jam session than a magazine. In 1996, I founded and, with the help of a crew of 15, launched Electric Minds. Electric Minds was named one of the ten best web sites of 1996 by Time magazine and was acquired by Durand Communications in 1997. Since the late 1990s, I’ve cat-herded a consultancy for virtual community building."

This article talks a little bit about him as to what he is doing, and why we should listen to him.
He teaches, writes and gives lectures on social networking.

I really appreciated Mr. Rheingold's insight about internet literacy and crap detection. As I looked at his website I was struck by how much his mother, who was the art teacher at his school, understood the creative potential of the individual. He said, "After the pin-drop quiet, pin-neat order of our home-rooms, the happy chaos of Mrs. Rheingold’s room was like travelling to an altogether different dimension. Mrs. Rheingold’s philosophy of teaching art was that all human beings are creative innovators, have a need to express ourselves creatively, but many — most — people are shut down at an early age.".

I am truly inspired by Howard. The free spirit of sharing his personal life and the knowledge he shares is cool. Jenny I love it when you share your excitement. I realize I have a lot to learn. I am a beginner that just learned to turn turn on a computer. I love to research and compare. Yes investigate. Thank-you. Below is the articles website. Enjoy Jenny and classmates. God Bless.

Please disregard my last comment. I meant to put more information.
Howard points out really good points in technology today and from years past. He is a digital community builder and lives a collaborative life. I wish there were more people like him, but with a brain like his, there can only be one.
Again here's the link to TED that talks more about Howard.

He attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, from 1964 to 1968. His senior thesis was entitled "What Life Can Compare with This? Sitting Alone at the Window, I Watch the Flowers Bloom, the Leaves Fall, the Seasons Come and Go." With all of his credentials he sounds very well educated. He appears to be a very interesting and complex man.

I found it particularly interesting that Howard has been involved in the online community for so long, including starting to publish articles on the Internet since 1993. In that year, he was featured in a BBC production, "The Electronic Frontier"
