thing 15

How can 2.0 make things easier? I think education tools like 23THINGS will make it easier because we will know what we are doing! As far as strengths, 2.0 provides more than one source, it is user-centered and very creative. Weakness are that a person needs to be educated in how to access and use the programs.There are the mentioned space and money constraints. I also was saddened as the noted fact that being computer related may mean that a person never has to, or choose to, visit a library. Let's not loose that! The concepts are flying- for instance the article about the New York Times article about UT Austin(Texas) Book less Library- which in reality was about creating more space for tech by eliminating duplicate and unused books.

More positives than negatives in general though!
