Gena HaskettVideoblogger, Information PackRat, Writer, Technology-Human Interlocutor Los Angeles area, USA 
There are more questions than answers but the questions are incredible. How do we incorporate these new forms of creation and distribution into our lives to support our communities instead of being pacified by commercial disinterest? Is it too late for common ground between divergent groups? How do we show our real lives and authentic selves so that future generations will know not all women wore gold lame underwear and gyrated on men's laps as a form of personal achievement? It is important for all people, but especially women, to tell the truths about our lives and our realities. Blogging and vlogging can help us do that so that our experience cannot be erased or disputed. The time is now. There are many changes coming and the ability to communicate across interest groups and differences will be essential for survival. Gena Haskett is a videoblogger in the Los Angeles area. Currently she creates content for Out On The Stoop a free form video/text blog that documents her experiences traveling around Los Angeles and beyond. She is also working on a prototype for a library technology blog for a library technology program. Her video work includes participation in Zone 11/12 video art group via public access television and media classes at the community college and university level. There is also participation in Vidlicious, an online video collective of female vloggers.
