Well I can't say that I'm not glad this is over. The crunch to finish timely was stressful and meant that one could not go more into in depth on any one thing. Having said that, I did find a couple of fave sites. Those that dealt with pictures, music downloads, or comedy of some sort gave insight into just what interests folks. I feel that we are by default always learning and that the www is just one more tool on that journey. I cannot imagine how the coming generations will use this tool. Their dependence on the speed of information makes me dizzy. They have to learn a whole new protocol in relationships and we'll still have to protect their innocence from those who would abuse their trust.

Downloading - . I was impressed with the amount of topics already available. Plagiarizing will take on a whole new meaning. Ethics at the elementary level needs to be considered. The step-by-step provided was clear and concise but I'd probably need a neighbor's kid to actually do any thing with this. It's fun to think how portable we are becoming. Hook me up anywhere and I can make a production out of something.

Looked at the podcasts site again. The 'tutorial' inbeded there was most informative and had good info for those wishing to do podcasting. The topics were comonsense so that you should not get into trouble. Still too many ads!

Checked into several of the podcasts sights. Of particular note was the amount of advertising on any sight. They all seem to have a 'top ten' list, luckily with a short review that saved one a bit of effort in deciding what was right. There were some buffering to some of the sites. Podcast Alley gave an overview of a great many subjects. It just is a forum for the 'everyman' with an opinion and something to say

I checked into the YouTube site. They had set up a catagory list so that you could go with your basic interests. Still, the thing I find is before you know it, you're deep into other peoples' interests. The animated ones were interesting to me (Tales of a mere existence, Reflection) showed creativity as well as a sense of purpose for the creator. I don't really care to view too many so I'll check into others later.

It was good to see the creativness that the avatars brought out in the library staff. We must really need the outlet.
