WELCOMING NOTE FROM NICHOLAS MCCUMBER

By

Nicholas McCumber, LMRPS

 

Time-Space-Continuum is this artist’s definition of photography, the media of this era. You’ve logged onto the TimeSpaceContinuum Digital Forum, which is not simply a web-site. Unlike most web-sites, the TSCD Forum’s goal is to encourage communication between very different people. The premise is that, all people ask similar questions but, by failing to listen open mindedly to others’ answers, people don’t hear.

 

Some common questions are: Who is man, why are we here, what is the universe expanding into, and etc. These questions appeal to a select social group, one that is very diverse. To gain the group’s attention, several canyons were leapt over. The more solid the ideas existing at the Forum, to be considered by visitors, the better for all.  The Forum is a hub for communication and, like any hub, it must be firm.

 

Two or more people comparing ideas describes communication and helps cultures grow. People understanding each other despite their personal cultural teachings will reduce human displays of anxiety, like wars.

 

THE GOALS

The Forum exists on the World-Wide-Web; or in ‘cyberspace’. Digital technology is to this age what movable type was to Gutenberg’s era. Thus, the first step, is to respect everyone’s ideas, no matter what they are. We, as viewers, can always turn away. Remaining stupid is always an option. The Forum was designed to encourage people to share their ideas.

 

People can visit, tour the Forum and learn what is provided. Almost anyone can do that. However, to interact at the Forum one must become a member, which requires jumping through some hoops.

 

DESIGN

The Forum accepts today’s digital technology. People may upload images, textual works, now. Soon, members will be able to upload audio and video items as long as the rules for doing so are followed. As time passes, more technologies will likely be invented. The Forum was designed to easily accept these, as well, thereby remaining a communication hub.

 

Please display the courage necessary to use new technologies. If you would like a first hand look at the concept of what the Forum offers, you may contact me directly by clicking Here. This will provide you an e-mail window to use.

 

 

MEMBERSHIP

At the forum, ‘member’ is synonymous with ‘user’. A user must be sponsored by a larger group, like a college. Only members may interact at the Forum, but many people may visit and tour the Forum’s homepages; thus getting an idea of what’s available.

 

If you’ve read this far, then consider that the TSCD Forum needs users like you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Nicholas McCumber, LMRPS
