Word of the Day
Cajole (v., kuh-JOLE)
To gently pester or flatter someone into doing what you want. Cajoling isn't just a one-time thing. It's a sustained pattern of coaxing, an erosion of defenses by telling someone what they want to hear.

Dr. Rosalie de Rosset on Technology
Dr. Rosalie de Rosset is a very smart woman who has been teaching for almost fifty years. In that time, she's seen a lot of change in how students interact with each other and the world around them thanks to technology. This lecture, given as a chapel talk, isn't a "technology is bad" theme; rather, it's a call to understand why we do the things we do and what those things do to us. It's stunningly good and well worth a listen.
