Technology Changes Rapidly; Humans Don't CHapTeR 8 219 To prevent this trend in the future, online community managers need to show that the English-first or intellectual ghetto metaphor is based on a bogus analogy and on retrograde thinking. Real ghettos require an individual's physical presence in them. Real neighborhoods have physical and spatial limi- tations that prevent me from being in multiple neighborhoods at once. Yet as those of us who design them know, online networks and communities don't suffer from these limitations. There's absolutely no reason why I can't be in multiple communities at the same time online. And if I can inhabit multiple communities at the same time, then I am able to take the same kinds of trans- disciplinary views that Guttenburg and the Wright brothers used. Hence Burk's observations about social capital leading to more creative problem solving still obtains, but only if corporate executives, managers, educators, and policy mak- ers encourage their charges to become members of multiple communities. As community managers, this is the type of argument we must be prepared to use to defend our work and the value we bring to the workplace, education, and society. inVesTing in fuTuRe LiTeRaCies
