23.Give feedback about the program

Firstly a big thank you to the team of 23 Things. I have found it to be the best Staff Development project yet. One of the reasons I wanted a career in libraries is that they are at the forefront of technology and as part of our job it is up to us to keep abreast. I would welcome similar projects in the future.

Of course the whole thing seemed quite daunting at first but as you dived into each thing it seemed to get easier to find your way. I have learned so much and I will be using and promoting to my family and friends all of the awesome Google products, Delicious, video sharing and possibly Skype in the future.
I am not a fan of the social networking sites of Facebook or Blogs as I prefer to leave my computer and get outdoors to socialise.

I guess how all these Things can be used in Libraries depends greatly on how our managers want to incorporate them into our present system and style of offering service.

What is mind blowing is the rate of new innovations and changing technologies. With the Obama campaign we had CNN with the the hologram technology. Maybe we could all sit at home in the future and have our holograms beamed into the library!

Well done on finishing all of the things! I have enjoyed your blog.

I look forward to having a hologram me to beam about wreaking havoc in the future!
