#23 The end of the Road or is there a Bridge Ahead?

This has been a brain teaser for me. I have learnt stuff I would never thought I would do. It is amazing how kids are doing these things every day of the week and think nothing of it. It is the way of the future. The most interesting thing for me is "google doc". To think all these years we have carried round floppies and sticks and paper copies an yet we could have been saving them in "Google" LOL. I found it difficult to do this program as time has been limited both at work and home. Must admit that it has been fun discovering so many different sites and ways of loading info.

#22 Ebooks

The sites would not load on my computer. In podcasting there are audio books so it is simular to ebooks.I have heard so many good things about ebooks and see it as a sign of the future for many business people whilst using their laptops during travel.

#21 Pod Casting

Podcasting in libraries could be used in so many ways to introduce collections, business information and so.

#20 YouTube

You Tube is rather interesting. It was hard to choose a clip as there were so may. I chose this one asm my husband use to work for a fuel companyn and prices were his biggest headache. There are so many ways that YouTube could be used for libraries. As shown in different clips you can put just about anything on a blog.

#19 WEB Tools

This tool would be useful for many of my Genealogy users. I like the simplicity of the site and the way My Heritage gives you the option of photos for face recognition.

#18 Documents at my Fingers

This has got to be the best discovery so far. Gone are the days of looking for discs and Memory sticks. In the future I will be using this for both work and home.
