Technology is the unintuitive phone system, the frustrating donor management system, the computer that blue screens every time it has more than three windows open. This is not the time for jargon -- save that for talking to your developers (or your NTEN listserv buds). Using metaphors that relate to real life can be a big help.

A challenge of our time seems to be building networks of quantity while creating/generating quality from the networks. Groups with political and social change goals are stronger and more viable over time when there are opportunities of personal interaction, relationship and trust-building, and sharing stories. Action takes time.
