On the internet nobody knows you're a social worker. Well, maybe they do, but at least they don't know your name and address.

After years of experience in the world of human services, it's easy for me to make a generalization: social workers of a certain age do not like computers or the internet. Many of them find it easy to believe that all that digital stuff is more trouble than it's worth.

I think I've found a way to make the case to them.
