Technology and Information 2.1 blog

How has technology affected the way I utilize accessing information... hmmm... well, let's see... I look many more things up on line because of the ease of finding specific information. Sometimes that works for me, sometimes not so well. There is so very much information out there that you have to do a lot of wading sometimes. Then too, there is so much interesting stuff along the way that it is easy to get distracted as well. Online resources are more often now my first stop in seeking answers, definintely (though NOTHING will ever replace BOOKS!).

As for how this effects the future role of the library, I don't really know. I am sure the library system will find a way to evolve and involve to meet the demands of change. At least I fervently hope so!

Back again so soon...

Health, wellness and technology.
I now want a Wii very badly!!! That just looks like an absolute blast. I can try asking Santa, but it's probably out of his budget, what with inflation exceedingly taking a bigger and bigger bite of things. Ah well, something to hope for anyhow. The Nike+ is very high tech and cool, but I don't do the great outdoors much. Shun the sun, questionable neighborhood, so that's not for me. Google map... see previous sentence. The Nutritiondata site looks helpful, that could be fun and educational to explore! The About.com fitness walking site wouldn't load, so I didn't check that one out. All, in all, there is some very cool technology out there these days.
Ta for now...

Reintroduction

I'm trying this again. The last time I wrote, week before last now (?), I ran out of time and could not for the life of me seem to send my url to the correct address. Frustrating. I'm quite sure it was something I was doing wrong, it usually is, but it kept saying there was no account for simpson.thomas@ocls.info, or some error like that anyways. Reintroducing myself... hmm, Karen Sutherland, and I work the paging list here at main. I have been here about a year and a half now. Married, 3 kids, 3 dogs and 3 cats. There's the basics : ) What do I hope to get out of 2.1? To become more fluent and at ease with getting around in cyberspace, knowing what is available and as importantly, being able to access it, so that I can share it as well!
