Thing 17

Library 2.0. What do I think of these ideas? I'm not sure of where this is going. I just don't think all of this online stuff will produce a higher quality of humanity. I think we need to go back to talking to each other face to face, meeting in each others' homes, or at least using the telephone to hear each other's voices. I believe there is too much anonymity online. We don't have to be who we are; we can be whoever or whatever we want to be to whomever is reading our blog, tags, technoratis, bloglines, etc. I guess I am getting more old-fashioned as I grow older, learning to value the things that really matter in life like family, friends, happiness. Does being online 40 hours a week perpetuate truly important relationships and quality of life? There's something to ponder.
