Social Networks

Social networking and libraries... Hmm. Again I am taken aback by the amount of time that can be spent doing these things. Time that is spent surfing in anonymous hyper cyberspace. It is all so immediate, but it doesn't involve the face-to-face interactions that are so important to human relationships. Ah well.
I am not a troglodyte; far from it. It's just the isolating quality that gets me. If social networking brings teens and anyone else into the library, that's great. Then we can have the conversations, the book talks, etc.

Just my thoughts.
(After all, my site is named "Talking Story".)
