Of all the blogs I’ve been reading over the past week there are two topics which keep popping up everywhere: The Kindle Book Reader and Twitter. While I’ve never used either of these two very different these I have read about them and I’ve heard numerous people talking, and complaining, about Twitter. The Kindle is popular among people in their late 40s and while I can see how it is revolutionizing reading but I still prefer an actual book in my hand to reading one on any type of screen. E-Books are the wave of the future, but working in a library and using IUCAT every day I can safely say that our population at IUPUC also prefers to hold the physical book in their hands as well. Everything has its place. Twitter sounds a little overwhelming, my classmates have had to use it for another class and apparently hate it. It too, sounds like a great tool and librarians are raving over it. There’s got to be something to it and I’m sure in a few short months none of us will be able to live without Twitter. We will think to ourselves, “How did I get along before Twitter?” Just like we all do now in trying to remember a time before Google.
