#23 This is the end.....

Well, it seems I've made it! I must confess it's been hard trying to fit it in with normal work, going overseas and now moving house..But I've found it interesting, have learned a lot, and can see many of these new technologies having applications for libraries. I caught the end of an interview on the radio (no, not a podcast!) with writer Andrew Keen. His new book "The cult of the amateur : how the democratization of the digital world is destroying our economy, our culture, and our values" (Doubleday 2007) presented a rather more negative view. But maybe this guy is just an elitist? Anyway, like most new technology, like the internet itself, Web 2.0 will no doubt have its critics and its enthusiasts.
Thanks to everyone who organised the training - now I can go back to reading a book when I get home in the evenings!
