One of the things we're very insistent on is that to use Google and Wikipedia as your sole information sources is to be subjected to dubious evidence and also miss out on valuable databases for which we pay huge sums!

The point is not to ditch the baby with the bathwater but for us to be aware of different social habits and different ways of networking and communication than we, perhaps were used to at the same age. Being adaptive and aware of the possibilities might be a help in drawing in young performers.

But, yes, as Don T said, you can take a horse to the water... and sometimes the horses get to the water in spite of you! :-)
