THE 23RD THING!!!!!!

Well, it's happening right now before my very eyes. I'm finishing the program. As pleased as I am to complete this (I'll receive an astounding quantity of CEUs), I'm a little sad because there's no new task, no assigned learning exercise for me to complete. I will spend much time learning throughout my life, but something I've learned about myself is that I tend to be more focused if I have an assignment to complete. It's the student in me, I suppose, the one that likes deadlines.

There is so much out there in the world of 2.0, it could take a lifetime of searching and researching to keep up with all the changes. This discovery program has opened up my eyes to applications I wasn't aware of (web-based productivity applications, LibraryThing and friends, Technorati) and has re-introduced me to things with which I was familiar, but uninitiated (blogging, Flickr, wikis). I haven't much use for some of the Things, such as RSS feeds and some of the mash-up sites (fun, but who has the time?), and I've found that I really enjoy other Things (like blogging).

Overall, my take is this: Let's never stop learning, and let's always take interest in what's new and different. This may mean we must change our pre-conceived ways of using computers and it may mean that we fumble around on what comes naturally to the next generation. Regardless, what is there to lose except maybe a little time?

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ~Alvin Toffler
