Passion, obsession, and the autistic child

I'm not lost, I'm wondering

As any parent of an autistic child knows, the tendency of our kids to perseverate is a fact of life. Or, at least, it looks like perseveration to us, but it quite possibly could be good old fashioned perseverance. The distinction between “ perseverate &# and “ persevere &# is one that I often wondered about.

- Web 2.0, Gov 2.0, Society 2.0

Chief Seattle Greek Blog

'Government 2.0. The whole two-dot-oh thing seems so “contrived”. Like a marketing gimmick. Or selling the “new improved” laundry soap, that is, the “new, stickier, more connected, web”. Yet there is a kernel of truth here, not so much in the technology but in the fabric of our society. It is Society 2.0. First of all, I’m not coining the term Society 2.0.
