Not everyone will be converted and yes, it's pointless to try but if people are on the brink it's good to give them that little push! Yeah, I suppose it was a kind of tongue-in-cheek title.

I keep doing this too but I'm starting to think - why bother? Some people are just too dumb to get it (remember the Evening Standard piece) so fine, let them be. It does annoy me when people get paid to write about things they don't understand but then that's always been so too. After all, journalists tend to be jacks of all trades rather than master of one. I was accused the other day of sounding like a cult member due to my evangelising on this topic and maybe that's the danger of being an early adopter. So instead of converting "one by one" why not just enjoy being at the forefront of the media revolution - I predict those who don't even attempt to understand will simply fall by the wayside.
