GourdGracious It's Technology -- a reflection

Kettle gourds.

A momentary interlude about gourds and technology: It is possible that even the mightiest beliefs age and can appear to have outlived its purpose and usefulness, only to come to life again with new purpose.


This tree at Richards Fruit Market was an old and brittle example of plant life that can get past its prime. However, after some trimming and grooming, evidence proved it still had purpose as the strength and support for many new gourd fruits! That's a lot like digital technology. There are tried-and-true ways of doing things (like doing surveys and collaborating) but when these are groomed with new ideas and ways of performing, the two can come together.
