The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story." -- Ursula K. Le Guin -- Writer, Reader, Amateur Interneter, Father and Life Chronicler.

I assume by the entry that the crowd you run with mostly consists of the people that "got out" so to speak and went to college, and are educated. It'd interesting to contrast that with an IT worker in a company of mostly over 40 employees where IT isn't the focus of the company but rather a required service to run the company.
