23 Things. What I think?

I found doing the 23 things project challenging and rewarding. For example I find some web 2.0 technogies such as 'Encore' play an important part in helping students and academics access books a lot easier and quicker than the traditional catalogue. However I personally found that some other technologies such a Wiki, Delicious and Blogger are not so important. I like the idea of recording things in a traditional diary.

I don't think I will be using many of the 23 things in the future but I do appreciate their role and enjoyment they must bring to certain people in our community. I find that technologies such as 'Facebook', 'My Space' etc are tools that to some extent have taken away the natural and traditional way of meeting or communicaring with people. I hear too many complaints from parents and teachers that the Y generation spend too much time using these types of technologies to communicate with their friends. As a consequence many young people often neglect other important facets of their lives such as excercise, they lack of ability to socialise with people on a one to one basis.
