# 13 again! the future of Libraries and 2.0.
Interesting, alot of information to absorb, and not a subject I feel I know much about. Will progress in Libraries mean a deterioration of good old public service on a human level.? Maybe the Patron of the future will never feel the need to step inside a Library, because they can obtain all the information they need without having to get off the couch. Not sure how much of an impact Library 2.0 will have on circulation, but have a feeling that eventually there will be nothing physical left to circulate......Progress you say?.............

# 12 Social networking.
I have no desire to set up a facebook account, but I know it is very popular. My daughters both have their own account, and have reconnected with many school friends through it. My nephew who is currently travelling the world on Daddy's visa keeps in contact with my daughter as well as numerous other friends, documenting all his crazy antics. Just glad his Mother cannot see half of them. It appears to be a useful tool in finding people.I prefer to sit opposite real people enjoying real food have real conversation, and don't have a need for virtual friends.

# 11 thing. Technorati. Typed in Learning 2.0. Came up with a blog directory. Clicked on blogs then food and wine, delved into site, peeled back another layer and somehow ended up with a post about Alec Baldwin doing a great impression of Sarah Palin on a late night show! Seems to me that it's a bottomles pit of information, some useful and some irrelavent. I do feel that alot of sites such as DVDs or music or latest books, are aimed at this generation and I didn't find it very inspiring.

#10 A delicious adventure......decided to explore delicious through the NVDPL account.
Clicked on 'Popular' and found a'tag cloud' clicked on food, (of course) and found some amazing recipes! could have hours of fun in this web site given some spare time....
It was interesting to read some recent posts, and comments on recipes tried and tested.

big world out there!

I am now doing thing #7 and could become addicted ! Google was easy to understand and navigate, found some great chicken recipes!
Topix would take hours to look into, possibly at 3 in the morning when you can't sleep.
Sydic8 could not even be activated, not sure why, and Technooati was extensive, interesting, but when I delved into my favourite topic, cooking, came across a disturbing site under, British cooking, showing a Guinea pig about to be lowered into a chip pan... and some very colourful comments from disturbed viewers like me. I guess being new to all this, there must be alot that one actually would rather not find, on all of these sights, but under cooking?....
I was supposed to look at Library related sites, and found a good one in Google about up coming fiction, given more time I imagine there's a vast amount of information I could gather on library related subjects, but for this purpose just had a quick look through, I have a feeling this will not be the last visit to these info sites.

#6 thing came next, and I signed up for a reader account, found some interesting stuff in this one!

I did # 5 thing today, but found there was far too much information to digest, so didn't find any of it particularly interesting.

my 21st century grand daughter

On a recent visit to Build a bear, my 3 yr old grand daughter hopped on a stool in front of the computers that generate your new bear's birth certificate, when I asked her what she was doing, she said" just checking my e-mails"!!

travels in Europe

I have just come back from Germany, and can now say 23 things in German! maybe I will do all my 23 things in German now!
