Blog about technology

I remember when online searching was used mainly for academic research and required special training in search terms and techniques (revealing my age here, aren't I?) Now I'm constantly amazed by how quickly the Internet has become a part of everyday life--from shopping sites that search for best online prices and send "deal alerts", to handheld devices that can identify a tune and download it almost instantaneously or locate a restaurant and make reservations. I'd also like to give credit to senior citizens I see in the library who are truly "life-long learners" and have the courage and curiosity to teach themselves or take classes to learn to use the new technologies--and a pat on our collective staff backs and kudos to the libraries for enabling them!
