Methods 1 and 2

What I have seen from the Web 2.0 videos so far has been more intriguing than informative. The man who goes by the name of Stephen Abraham was a bit of tease in some of his answers to the lady's questions. He seems to just be hyping up his own program (The 23 Step Program). I admit that the next video "The Machine Is Us/ing Us (Final Version)" was great. It had a nice unassuming way of conveying the future. Through all these social networks, we are all further linking knowledge to the Internet by forging our experiences with our Internet experience and allowing others to share their lives with us in completely new and unique ways (YouTube, Twitter, Myspace, Meebo, etc.). I like that video. As a librarian, I can see how this sort of revolution can change librarians into a role they've been gearing themselves toward for a while, which is that of gatekeeper of the well of knowledge and information and not the well, themselves. The librarian doesn't have to hold the knowledge themselves, just be able to navigate through it. Humans are very fallible in that way. The Web 2.0 Revolution will make up for what humans lack in time, memory, and physical resources. Even if I was blind, I could still see how the Web 2.0 Revolution will change the libraries of America as well as the world forever.
