NSW Public Libraries learning 2

Its with a mixture of excitement and regret that I join the journey of learning 2
It's fun to explore the new depths of cyber space, "to do" what lots of people are doing,
the regret comes from yet another activity in front of the computer.

I wonder where we are going as a human race when we sit for hours - preferring to communicate with each other via a computer, locked away, self absorbed, hiding our true selves - will compassion, kindness and touch be lost and what will it's impact be?

How do I know who you really are? Are you telling me the truth? Why do I need to seek out your thoughts and opinions? Do I need them? How do I know whether to value them?
Unless I can see your face, look into your soul, how will I know if I really do like you? and therefore value what you have to tell me.

but this is an opinion blog I guess
A blog which shares information and facts, a blog which advertises - well that's a whole different question!
What a great way to reach a large number of people. What a great tool for a library!
