23rd Thing

iHCPL has help broaden my perspective of the internet to beyond Google searches and email. I hadn’t realized just how many blogs, websites, and internet services are out there and how much people are using them. iHCPL has made it obvious to me that to stay informed and connected in the “post-print” world, I need to spend a lot more time devoted to the exploration and use of the internet. It seems like everyone that I know under age 30 has a Facebook or other social netwoking site. As with the concept of the "free" public library, I like the concept of the “free” public internet, although how the internet actually works is still a mystery to me. I am still concerned about privacy and paranoid about “big brother” every time I log in.
