Flicker experience

Using the Flicker for the first time was interesting and fun. It became difficult to choose from all the beautiful photos. The selection was limited but over all showed very unique pictures. My first favorite was the two wild mustangs hugging, I thought it was a sweet embrace of two friends. The second photo I chose for my page was a colorful exotic picture of an Arabic dancer, I believe people forget to hear the music beating inside the heart. The third picture displayed the power of nature and God, the photographer did an excellent job of capturing a mystic mood of awe. I like Flicker because it offers a different approach to finding neat photos!!!

We are web !!!

I decided to read and view the video; Think _library 2.0 as you watch this.html

Technology is stealing the spot light away from reading materials.Understanding how technology works and how it effects the Library is a valuable asset to the community and its patrons.Because the Web is more important than ever , it is imperative that this technology becomes easily accessed and understood by all library personal. Michael Wes ch ,the assistant professor of cultural Anthropology ,states in his article that; We are the Web. I agree,that as the mind becomes more familiar with technology,the process of thought evolves; it begins to store information and load data like a computer. In essence we become the machine and the library becomes the place to surf the web or rent DVDs. Technology has many more positive effects on society than negative, but I feel like computers and media ought to have less importance than books in all libraries.
