Has the word free become a dirty word?  Occasionally we all volunteer to share our time, attention and knowledge with others, who have an interest in learning something different, saving money and enjoying their digital life all the more.  Sometimes, when the word free is used, individuals or businesses seem uncertain about the motives behind all of this free talk and sharing and as a result they hesitate moving forward.  This is understandable, especially nowadays, when hidden agendas are plentiful.

Perhaps the idea of something being free implies less value?  Or could it be that people feel guilty taking an opportunity with perceived value without offering something to exchange in return?  It could be all of the above.

Listen folks!  Sometimes free means just what it sounds like, free! Some people are simply driven by their passions and gravitate to those interested in the same information, ideas, projects or something greater than themselves and merely want to be apart of sharing with others. Maybe free is a dirty word?  How about instead we use the word share or volunteer?
