And words posted once were amazed, ambitious, annoying, assisted learning, brave new world, chaos, concerned, creative, digital reality, efficient, endless possibilities, fraud, future-driven,, gobsmacking, ignorant, its okay, nervous' opportunity, optimistic, overwhelmed, promise, shortcut, somewhat excited, terrified, threat, time-saving, tired of hearing about it, tricky, uncertain, unknown, wow, yawn, yay
