Thoughts on Technology Task

Technology has become such an organic extention of ourselves that for the most part we no longer give tasks performed a seond thought. Not so long ago, we were in awe of what technology could do for us ... now we grumble if requsted tasks aren't perfomed fast enough.

Working on 2.0 has encouraged me to expand my pretty basic PC skills and I feel a new sense of awe in what technology can do. This week I have been learning about the photo management program Flickr - which in itself is a magic show, mashups and podcasts. I think about how to use them and ... who on earth comes up with these names!

I think mappr looks interesting for tracking a journey. The layout and graphics pull the reader into the geography and give a story a fresh dimension.

I don't know how I'll do with implementing any of them but I sure am impressed about the potential.

Wait until you get into image generators later in the program - fun galore!

Go on you for expanding your horizons. Just goes to show that learning doesn't finish when school does.
