First Post . . .

For anyone skimming the blogosphere for fun and excitement you are doomed to disappointment. This blog is part of a library training course and is therefore purely
of interest to other librarians with lots of time on their hands (is there such an animal?).
I don't quite know how I eneded up with a pink blog - but I'll stick with it for a while to
see if I grow accustomed to its face.
Questions:
Is the expanding power of the web an exciting and transforming new development, or is it
another way for articulate, educated, wealthy Western elites to maintain inequity?
Is it actually good for us to be able to have exactly what we want, when we want it?
I'm thinking of poor little Stephen Fry scarred for life by missing an episode of Dr Who.
Thank heavens for the Brave New World of Web 2.0 where he'll never have to miss anything
again! Or learn how to handle disappointment, I suppose.
Feeling very curmudgeonly this afternoon! No doubt the wonder of wikis will convert me
from a Techno Luddite quite shortly.
