Thing 2

I'm fuzzy on Web 2.0 and Library 2.0. But I think that's what this is all about--staying on the cusp of changing technology. And although I'm not employed by a library--I want to stay current with how I can use the library and the technology it has to offer. I'm doing 23 Things so that I will know the terminology and be familiar with all the changes occuring, what they mean, how they can be used, and how I can use them. I think this is especially important for Baby Boomers--to not fall behind. I know too many people willing to let it all go by. However, I believe by staying current and learning new things keeps one alive and healthy and interesting. I believe we grow old when we stop growing!

And yes, people always say--there's not time. Just like people say I don't have money to do that. It's an excuse. We all have limited time and money--it's the choices we make--how we choose to spend our time and our money.

I like 23 things in that it makes learning all this doable by presenting it in pieces, one at a time. And guides one as to where to look and what to do. And the fact it can be done at an individual pace!
