life long learning #?? Web 2.0 stuff

I'm supposed to write about my ideas on life long learning. well it should be obvious, since I was 40 when I got my MLS, I'm a firm believer in always learning.

Even when I wasn't able to go to school I still read and learned and tried to improve myself. Learning keeps bad nasty stuff at bay, like alzheimers and stuff, keeps the mind sharp, helps the memory. And in this world we live in, no matter how fast, unless we want to eat dust, we have to stay at the head of the pack.

I try to learn at least one new thing every day.

I latched onto technology when Radio Shack first came out with their 'Trash 80' series. We had a Trash 80 series 3, not tape, but the first 5 1/4" floppy (and I do mean floppy) disk. I've never looked back, just learned more and more.

I love learning. Tech stuff and new ways of finding things and helping ppl connect to whatever they're reaching/searching for is just an added bonus.

hmmm....one thing I firmly believe is, learning keeps you young in spirit. When I stop learning they'll be shoveling dirt over my grave (or dancing around my funeral pyre) and even then I'l be learning all the cool stuff of disembodiedness *big grins*.

Learning=Knowledge=Self-Empowerment
