Week 6, Thing 15

Library 2.0 -
Very interesting reading for this thing. We are definitely in the age of technology and interactive technology at that. Libraries are dealing with ways to adapt as the patrons' needs adapt. I liked the video from Michael Wesch - neat presentation style - a little vertigo at times, and I think he does need to switch to decaf - but he has a unique style that is fun to watch.

"To A Temporary Place In Time" by Dr. Wendy Schultz - I liked her idea of Library 4.0, particularly the Knowledge Spa, where the luxuries of ideas and thought will be added. Maybe the technology will relax a litle. It sounds inspiring.

you're right, wesch's video was a little frenetic. at first i felt a little out of control but then ultimately we learn that we are teaching the machine and, in many instances, we are the machine. it makes me feel like a contributor.
