Week 3 Task # 7

OK, well blogging about technology ... first, I can barely remember what it was like NOT to own a PC, my first PC was a Mac with an unbelievably tiny monitor, black and white like the picture. Awwww shucks, ain't it sweet? Bit different from the flat-screen wonders of today, yes? I like to think that I am something of a techno-holic - love the lovely toys produced to make life easier/prettier/more fun! My iPod is a wonderful thing and it's been a long time since I've bought a CD anywhere but iTunes. Another "toy" I adore is my GPS nav system, which means I can actually find my way from Hampton to Ascot Vale without needing to do a "quick" detour via Niddrie or over to the airport!
As for the online world... I live on the net and my current addiction is facebook, though I think it's giving me a complex about how many friends I've got in comparison to some of my other friends! I do pretty much everything online, from paying bills to finding out about anything I need to know.
I am hoping that at work we will be able to work some of this Web 2 stuff into our daily tasks, as I truly believe that if we put our heads together we can produce something new and interesting, which we can use to help our patrons. I can see possibilities for ELLA, for readers' advisory, for adult events, youth, reference, you name it!
Cheers,
Donna
