Blogging, blogging, blah, blah, blah! Once this all sinks in it might be fun! I thank my team for their patience!

As I read one blogger's comment, this web interaction does show "the good, the bad, and the ugly"! I myself have found it useful in learning things otherwise not easily accessible or cataloged, like cooking instructions, recipes and even dance steps; this is one of the points brought to attention from reading a couple of the Library 2.0 articles...the need for libraries to realize and adjust to the reality of information being more readily accessible through the web rather than from print. But for all its apparent good points, the cons, that are inevitable, can't be minimized either; for it also can be a more easily accessible "Pandora's box", opening up a whole can of unnecessary and often times inappropriate material and images, by those who don't understand prudence or the need for a healthy respect toward knowledge...which although enlightening can also be destructive when acquired and used unwisely. It brings to mind that quote from the movie Jurassic Park....they were "so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
We are not necessarily patient, just self-centered and in our own little world.
