exercise # 7

Technology: I think that I am a bit of a techno dork. I love the net but I am not very good at it, ie blogging and RSS . Who knew it would be so hard? Ebay and message boards are so simple. If you need to find a recipe that your great great grandma had and you lost it. Call me and I will find it on the net. Need a super cheap flight to Vegas? Email and I will get it for you. You want to watch the fireworks in Magic Kingdom from 1992. Let me know and I will send you the link. Just do not ask me to right click on the RSS feed for the Northwest Florida Daily News, it just does not compute. I also do not comprehend MySpace. All the technology we have today, cars, trains, planes. buses. We can get to Europe in a matter of hours and we sit inside all day long on MySpace. As we opened the library doors today 12 people were lined up to use the computers. It is a sunny day here in Fort Walton Beach and if I was not at work my hubby and I would have his Harley pointed to the beautiful sandy beaches, not sitting in front of a computer. Sorry to turn this into a rant. I did check out a few of the blogs from this site and I realize that I do not blog as well as everyone else. Library cat's blog is very cute.

I so totally agree with your rant. Technology and the Internet should be a TOOL, not a substitute for a personal life. If libraries didn't have some sort of time limits on computer usage there are customers who would spend 8 hrs/day sitting like a zombie in front of the monitor. Too sad!
