Here are my thoughts, technologically speaking:
* In the past, I have used AOL Instant Messanger, Yahoo Instant Messanger, and Skype as ways to keep in touch with friends. While I do not currently use any of these services, the familarity with them will help me immensely if I ever have the opportunity to provide online reference services!
* In my opinion, social networking sites - including Myspace, Frienster, and Facebook - are wonderful ways for persons to keep in touch with friends, make new friends, stay informed, and share ideas and opinions. I think ALL libraries should allow social networking on their OPACS. Libraries are about "Community Building" and social networking is one way for persons to build communities!
* I have not had much of an opportunity to use digital cameras and to upload photos to a computer. This is something I would like to experience more of in the future!
* Thank goodness for courses such as "23 Things" to help those of us who have "fallen behind" technologically! There is Hope!! :)
* While I prefer in-person classes to online classes, I learned a great deal about technology from the 5 online courses I took while in graduate school! I have come to love podcasts! I also really appreciate Wikis (including wikipedia).
