#15 Read a few perspectives on Web 2.0, Library 2.0 & the future of libraries

The Web 2.0 articles all have positive approach to Libraries using the services provided to them. The world changes everyday. Ideas are pulled together thorough blogs, facebook twitter etc.

To a temporary place in time… Dr. Wendy Schultz

“There are SecondLife3 subscribers who spend more than forty hours a week online, immersed in its virtual graphic world’ This statement made me feel ill. Are there really people out there that spend this much time on the internet in a second life? Where’s your real life?

In her library world: Library 3.0 and Library 4.0 a user would never have to leave the house. Again what’s the point? I think learning is a great thing. Library 2.0 will help an individual learn and keep organized. How much is really too much? When and where do you get all this time to spend day after day logging into your computer?

The University of Maryland found recently that students who are addicted to social networking sites had same symptoms of that of a drug or alcohol abuser if they didn’t get their daily fix. I don't know what to think.
