Week 7 already.....back at it again!

That break seemed like a long time away from this exercise that is 23 Things NB, and the blog itself (I can sense it's--the blog's--loneliness and empty feeling).

First off, I must say, that video we had to watch for this week's YouTube lesson gave me the chills. I even shared it to my Facebook (which I never do anymore, unless I feel very strongly about what I am sharing). Very cool to say the least.

For this I will fall back on my good-ol'-go-to-subject-matter (and no not cats silly-people, LEMONS!). Instead of hyperlinking, I am going to attempt to embed the same video that I used in a previous post, none other than The Lemon Song by Led Zeppelin:

 



But for realz...I mean real...videos, podcasts, etc. are definitely an easy and powerful way to disseminate information; they can be interactive, attractive, appealing, and much more. While this TED Talk may not be specifically about libraries, it is dicussing information and what are libraries if not a gateway to that information.

 

I watched this TED Talk in school a couple years ago and I always thought of it as a great (and quick) little learning tool for what these companies are doing with us/our information. It provides an alternative to just reading about it, top that off with decent speaker and some graphics in the video itself and you have yourself an attractive/appealing/powerful little snippet full of thought-provoking and interesting things to think about! Happy viewing:
