Thing 11

Technology is getting ahead of me. I used to love to learn, but when you start out with DOS and encounter change, change, change in software it can become overwhelming. Software programs start to look alike even though the details require attention. When you get proficient, you have to learn all over again and the frequency of new features increases. I used to be able to keep up but feel a widening gap now.
Nebraska Learns 2.0, although painful at times because the lessons use a trial and error learning method with very few guidelines, is probably how most internet users learn. Not everyone likes reading manuals, but some of us are more visual learners and prefer them. Can't do that with all the variety and choices you have to make as you are using the web. Don't know if all Web one users will be able to make the transition to Web 2. Libraries and librarians can perhaps help close the gap if we provide access and have a glimmer of understanding as a patron looks for help.
