So, I've been moving thru each activity, often wondering what's the point of these exercises? It takes a lot of time to explore these sites and search engines and aren't many of them still locating the same info, after all is said and done? Reading these perspectives has been thought provoking and I can now appreciate the relevance of the 23 things.
Our culture is changing the way we communicate with one another. "Collective intelligence," "self-service," "remixed content," "interactivity," and "user participation" can all describe what many people seek and technology provides the means to deliver these concepts. Libraries will need to integrate our services into our customer's daily work, study and play. Technology allows our patrons to experience library resources in the manner they prefer - we are meeting patrons "in their space," not in the physical confines of a library.
I loved the progression described in the perspective "To a Temporary Place in Time." Maybe we'll someday move away from ultra technology to a library as a refuge from "technobustle!" All that said, I have to admit that I do love reading an actual book without having to view its content on a computer screen....
