When approaching a range of hills or mountains the traveler has to choose a route. Should it be up and over the highest ridges or along a valley and up over a pass. Lewis and Clark had that kind of decision to make as they approached the Rocky Mountains on their exploration trip to the West in the early history of America.
Even more daunting is dealing with a sheer cliff. Should the climber risk life and limb to ascend the rock face or compromise idealism with the practical and preserve his/her life for another adventure.
Today the issue is finding a practical route through the challenging mountains of digital communication on the Internet. The ever rising ridges of technological change means that any accomplishment will soon be faced by an even higher ridge of learning and experimentation. It is easy to be paralyzed by impossible challenges that are interesting but not doable.
The moral of the story is to find the digital mountain pass that allows the traveler to get on with it.
