But I never thought about the ability to interchange power or that it does.

But interestingly, well to me, my Masters research was on new technology acceptance and one of the main bits was on how technology was changing socio-power structures in offices. That's why I was surprised I hadn't thought of it before.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-19519331796896048902011-07-13T16:44:59.083-04:002011-07-13T16:44:59.083-04:00Lol, Sinead.

It's not generally how I view things which means it's something that I'm missing when looking at my character's interactions.<br /><br />I have a heroine who is a school counselor. So with the kids, she would be the one with the power, but when she has to deal with the police? Or with the reporter who is pursuing a story on the campus? Maybe not . . . How would that make her feel?Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-86729727014767321572011-07-13T14:40:50.715-04:002011-07-13T14:40:50.715-04:00That is terrific, really something interesting to ...That is terrific, really something interesting to think about... <br /><br />and Maureen, did you really post that at 7:30am?
