End of the library world as we know it: Week 6, Thing 15

I think the one opinion about Thing 15 that really had an impact on me was the youtube video showing the evolution of text and the Internet. When it comes to Web 2.0 and Library 2.0, this is what is about, evolution of our environment and of the way we access, view, and create information. It also really hits home about how much we as librarians really need to keep up with our technology skills. Even as a Generation Xer going up with a computer in my household, accessing the Internet in the mid-1990's, I have realized how much I have still learned about what is available and being used out on the Web. While there are many of these websites that I may not use after completing my 23 Things, just knowing about them gives me a better understanding of how the Internet is evolving. We as librarians and libraries need to evolve with it and I believe in many instances we have as a profession, at least in my experiences. I am sure that there are still some out there who keep steadfast to the printed on paper word, but as one of the articles pointed out, we are not able to do this anymore.
