Writing is changing. There is no need for a pen and ink. The dilemma of where to place the paper is gone. Embrace the opportunity to express and take the risk. A blog can be a personal diary. A wiki can be a combination of newsletter, bulletin board, and community anthology. Every advance in technology brings some type of sacrifice, some down-side. The information age brings a flood of too much information. The dam has broken and we are swirling in information, but I refuse to be afraid. Information is nothing to fear. Get your blog! Get your wiki! Just swim!

Technofrustration
I am so frustrated with my stupid videocamera! After a year of working with a digital video camera (between the full-time job as librarian, part-time job as choir director, pianist/organist, sunday school teacher, graduate school student, writing trainer, webmaster, school television show producer, student council sponsor, poet, composer, band leader, guitar player, gourmet cook, homemaker and so on….just to let you know why I haven’t had time to figure out the stupid videocamera) I still have not figured out how to use it!
I love my laptop but, I guess a laptop is just not powerful enough to handle huge image files for making movies. So, I will have to explore moviemaking on a bigger computer. I am venting.
OK, now that’s over. I suppose we all feel the frustration of ever-changing technology. We have to keep learning, always learning. That is what life is about…learning.
