It seems social media, web 2.0, and technology is everywhere! Where have I been? Before this class I had never even heard about Web 2.0 - now I see and hear it everywhere. The cloud? Only clouds I knew about were in the sky, but now there are commercials about editing pictures and putting them in the cloud. Social media for me was Facebook, which I never access and LinkedIn, which I never access. Now everyone, including organiztions, are making the leap into social media. It is so much more than I knew - it is a way to collaborate, network, and learn.
Suddenly I have a heightened awareness about technolgy and it seems to show up in every part of my life. How did I not see it before?
It seems I am headed in the right direction now; I am a bit overwhelmed, but excited to see how I can use all these new tools in future training and in my personal life.
I am with you! I used to be a FB peeper (viewing everyone else and not posting), but I've actually posted, tweeted and saw a commercial the other day about putting pictures on the "cloud" an knew what they are talking about. I felt so 'with it'.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever noticed the arrow in the FedEx logo or the kiss in the Hershey's Kisses logo? (Take a minute, go to www.fedex.com or http://www1.hersheys.com/kisses/ and look at the negative space between the letters). Once you see them, you'll always be able to see them.
ReplyDeleteThat's you and social media right now. It was there before, but now it is in your realm awareness and familiarity. Kind of cool, huh?
