During a recent workshop, the Texas Association for Educational Technology
wrote of itself: "TAET is the principal professional association in Texas
committed to being the (human) resource network for the development,
implementation, utilization and evaluation of all current technologies for
education and training.  Where research fit in that, I am not sure.  They
went on to indicate that their work would be accomplished by *Information
Networking * Professional Leadership Development * Educational
Opportunities * Scholarships and * Interagency/Organizational Cooperation.
 The group had used the Peter Drucker model for strategic planning.  The
emphasis of the model is simplicity in truth and statement.  A focus on
people seemed to be their main concern.  As we have debated the task at
hand our statement has become more complex.  Could the average citizen read
and understand our statement.  At this point, may I suggest, they would
probably think us as so in love words that we have forgot their meaning.  I
plead for simplicity, directness and something about people.  Hopefully
everything in the world isn't going to be cyber.
