I am really enjoying the flickr section. Today took my camera to work (like most days) and I was able to take a few more photographs to finish my collection for the flickr badge. When talking to one of my frequent borrowers today, we discussed how much technology has changed and how libraries have changed since we were children. I remember riding my bicycle four miles to my nearest library when I was ten and thinking how wonderful it was to be able to have the choice of books I had. Now, I look at the choice of books that our younger readers have and wish I too was only just starting to read.
However, these children know so much more than I do about computers and technology. They are not afraid to push any buttons, to try this and that and see what happens. I am thankful to have this opportunity to look at various aspects of technology that I would never have thought that I could achieve success and even understand. Not that I really do understand how on earth flickr works and the background programme that must be there so that everything works correctly. I remember the old punch cards that I used in a finance company years ago in a Honeywell computer, and I thought that that was so futuristic!
Well, hope my flickr bage works. I have had fun looking at the websites and working out what I would like on my blog. I think that the younger staff at ERLC are absolutely wonderful with their innovative blog sites (sorry if I have offended anyone slightly older!). But for me, I like my traditional green site, I feel happy and safe.
