 kiva is a special purpose ceremonial buildings used by ancient Puebloan people in the American southwest, still in use among contemporary puebloan people, where communities reunite to perform rituals and ceremonies. In modern pueblos, the number of kivas varies for each village. Kiva ceremonies are mainly performed by men, however women and visitors can attend the performance. Among Eastern Pueblo groups kivas are usually round in shape, but among Western Puebloan groups (such as Hopi and Zuni) they are usually square.Kiva
what i loved about the KIVA discussion was that your feedback was not recognized if you didn't sit in the inner circle.  the conversations were to the point.  for instance:  how many times do the average person text per day.  most answered over two thousand.  i never text so that was a lot.  i still don't own a cell phone.  but i'm different.  another conversation was, Do people take social media to serious?  Are they gullable to strangers that show them attention? compassion and love on the internet?
internet dating was a topic that got feedback from most of the inner circle and more joined to voice their opinion.
all and all i hope to do a KIVA discussion again.

A:  over 2000-4000 per day on a average
Q:  Do you multitask?
A:  The average student we talked to including myself multitask.
Q:  By multitasking do you get 100% effort compared to doing one task at a time?
A:  Doing one task will get better result and a A for your effort compared to doing three things and getting a B for the task.
