Why work when you can delegate?

I've figured something out. If you're stumped and can't quite figure out the right way to say something, get someone else to do it for you. Perhaps the glory of an online degree in communication and technology is that you know the people in your classes are probably stuck on the internet as much as you are. So in an online chat with a classmate, we were lamenting out collective lack of answerable research questions. Jen Flynn and I both had rather broad ideas about our topics but couldn't sum them up succinctly (oh..say for an abstract, for example).

Then this conversation happened:

Mr. Chick says: well, cbc is notoriously slow to adapt to newer technology...
Jennifer Flynn says: And your question is "why"?
Mr. Chick says: or will that change with a more tech-savvy generation taking things over?
Jennifer Flynn says: So what is the predicted impact of the advancing millenial generation on the pace of technological adoption?
Mr. Chick says: pretty much exactly that...

Suddenly, I had a succicnt research question! So if you're struggling, talk to Jen and she'll write a good one for you.

Now, to wrap it up in a few more sentences and call it an abstract... then go to Vegas and back before Spring Institute.
