Week 9 YouTube

One of the greatest internet tools/websites of all times. Any time you are bored at home and cant' find anything else to do, just start looking for videos on YouTube and you can make the time fly!

Here's one of the most popular videos on YouTube with over 64 million views and counting. Makes you want to get up and dance!

Week 8 Web based applications

Zoho reminds me a lot like excel and other microsoft office programs. This could be handy in the future, but because of my familiarity with Office, I may still prefer to use that one instead. I could see certain instances where Zoho is useful though

Facebook

When I first heard about the "blogger" assignment I figured it would be a breeze. I have had a xanga since highschool, and when I first started college I created a facebook. The facebook account that I had got deleted do to lack of use I believe, so I re-created one over the summer. Xanga or Facebook or even myspace isn't for everyone. It tends to either really attract people, or people just hate it. I love it because it's relatively informal. Everyone has those friends that they're not very close to and these social websites are the best way to keep intouch, or tell someone you're thinking of them. It reminds everyone on a persons "friends list" when their birthday is everyday for about a week in advanced. Many people do seem to have some issues over privacy though. From Internet stalkers to pervs you don't know what's out there! Thankfully every site, that I'm familiar with at least, has some sort of privacy option. In Xanga when you write a post you have the option to make it "private" [where only you can see it] "selected" [where only your friends can see it] or it can be "public" where anyone who stumbles on the page can read it. In facebook, you can only see their profile if they add you to your friends list. I actually like facebook better, but myspace is fun to play with too!

Summary

I was a bit confused by this. A summary about the blog it'self, or the Library 2.0? At this point, anything could help us! our computer system is down!

YouTube

Being one of the younger generations here at BB, i've been familiar with You Tube and other video upload sights for a long time now. Great for a good laugh, or if you missed something, or even if you just want to see a music video for your favorite song/band.

Technology!!!

I'm a strong believer that like times before us we need to keep pushing to advance society. I'm not going to push my beliefs on the way society is though, because I'm positive i could type for a good 5 hours on the subject, and many people would probably disagree with me on many regards. If anyone does want to know, these are the types of conversations that truly interest me and i can talk anyones ear off. Make sure to bring a lunch. Nothing like a good debate! Anyways, back to technology. I suppose on thing that everyone can relate to is driving. Everyone has to drive to work, drive to get groceries, or drive to get.. well, wherever you need to be! But I'm sure that everyone has been the victim of a horrible driver. The ones that are just generally unaware of what's going on around them, making them a PAIN to other drivers that just want to get to where they're going! INTRODUCING FLYING CARS!! yes, they've been working on these puppy's for awhile. Many A-list celebs actually already have put down payments, or even just payed for one already. Michael Jackson being one of them! As far as i know they're actually not as expensive as you would thing, for a flying car that is. It'll be so novel to be able to avoid everyone on the road. I just want to get where I'm going! Unfortunately there is so much to do regarding flying cars. (laws! safety!speed!) It'll take awhile, but it is a step in the right directions.

Who needs mini digital photo carrying wallets? BRING ON THE FLYING CARS!!!

Library 2.0

I couldn't find a link on ihcpl to where Library 2.0 was so i googled it. Seems that it's just much more advanced. Moving forward and advancing technology is always something that everyone, not just librarians should strive for.
