Method #3 Cloud Computing

I toured Google docs and learned that documents can be accessed from school, home, phone. This would be great for Churchs, clubs, organizations and anyone who is wanting to create a document.
I am concerned about future privacy issues though.

Zoho, has a set of office tools with 13 online tools available. If you are out of the country or on a road trip this would be a wonderful way to bring your work with you, as no storage devices are needed. Both Google docs and Zoho are free of charge, so all you need is an internet connection.

After reading the remaining recommended articles, my first thoughts again were the privacy issues. As one person commented, What happens when the 3rd party abuses your privacy. What if they go out of business/get sold to another company. Giving to much control over our information can be dangerous.

Method #2

In the first video Stephen Abram answers several questions regarding changes libraries are making . I will be reflecting on the exciting new dynamics and positive changes that are occuring in today's libraries.
The second video is amazing. It makes you think about the impact the internet has on us as a society. Web 2.0 focuses on people who consume media and use the internet. We do not need to passively absorb what is available, we can become active contributors by customizing media and technology for our own purposes and those around us.
