Opps, I forgot to blog last week! Well here it is. I was pretty interested about Twitter because I had never heard of it before but it seemed that all week long that’s ALL I heard about on these morning shows as I am getting ready for work! Like, it sounds kinda of interesting but not so much that I went out to try it. Sorry. But, it is obviously getting huge and people seem to like it. It is a great example of all of this technology going mainstream other than for what we have “traditionally” used the internet for( research). Well I do beleive that many of these applications are the wave of the fututre yet it still is difficult to completely let go of the past. I am afraid if we all just switch to internet info or as Will Richardson put it “flexible nomadic learners” we could possibly lose important information in a catastrophic event or as easily as through the “grapevine”. I know I am being really dramatic here but I could equate something happening to our information comparable to the great loss of the ancient Alexandria Libray! Strange but it does cross my mind!

✔ Never wrong to be cautious… until caution gets you left behind. No harm in trying new things. Often, trying is required to fully understand and make informed judgements/decisions. The speed at which things seem to be evolving can be quite unnerving though, can’t it.
