The Machine and Web 2.0

As I watched the YouTube video for the library 2.0 program, I really thought about the way that we process information now. Everything needs to be flashing and moving and basically done for us. If we have to search through a book to find information, it's a task instead of a privilage to discover something new. We want someone else to have done the work and spread it before us.

Now that I have gotten a little bit of the negativity out, I would like to say that I think it's amazing that there is so much information available to anyone who cares to look for it. It's no longer a daunting task to find things. Anyone can find what they are looking for and don't have to have a degree in computers to learn how to find it.
