To me, Library 2.0 is about the evolution of the library. It's about the library's integration into this high tech society that there is no choice but to be a part of.
I remember when the library did not have computers or the internet. That was such a simpler time. Sometimes I wish all of this high tech stuff would disappear, but there is a good use for it.
The way technology connects people, and the way that information can be relayed from one place to another in the blink of an eye is amazing. It is so exciting to see all this unfolding right before our eyes. It seems like that changes that the library and librarians are going through is happening at exponential speed. That speed is thrilling, but it's also a bit saddening. Will we ever be able to keep up with the technology?
In some respects, the technology is evolving faster than we are able to grasp it. We are forced to adjust our lives to it. Technology is both a help and a hindrance, so just sitting back and observing all of this is fascinating to me.
I am alive during a very exciting time in history. Libraries are becoming much more than they used to be, and that is wonderful.
