I do see libraries changing in the future with our society becoming more and more dependant on technology. But in many ways I'm not sure if everything is a good thing. I see more and more kids coming in and have no clue how to find books here in the library. Or they question why they need to have a journal article, or a book to complete their research paper. They seem to think that all of the information that they need is on the web. But one critical skill that I think that many of them are missing is how to analyze if the information given by the website is truly valid.
But in many instances I do see technology helping libraries in the future. I think that it is more important than ever for us to stay atop emerging technologies. Which is why I am really enjoying do the 20 things. Many of the things we have explored I had never heard about.
