New vocabulary

I just learned from an NPR interview that I am a "digital immigrant" as opposed to a "digital native", because I am old enough not to have grown up with computers and the WWW and all our recent technology. To a "native" it's all second nature, but to me, the immigrant, it is learning a whole new language. Well, I was always good at languages!

Diving into Web 2.0

I have swimming on the brain right now, but I finally created my blog. After 2 attempts to watch the "Machine is Us" on too slow library computers, I watched on my home laptop. Most important ideas from the recommended reading were concerning what we need to "rethink": Library 2.0, authenticity or authority of sources. Ultimately none of this will matter if the library doesn't have the hardware fast enough to support it.
