Thing 17 - Podcasting
I listened to the podcast "Episode 31 - Living on the Phone" which is a podcast by a gentleman who calls himself the Cyberpunk Librarian. Something that drew me to his podcast was his great name for himself, but also the subtitle, which is "High Tech, Low Budget".
In this episode, he talks about how most of us have smart phones these days - or in other words, we walk around with a computer in our pockets - yet we don't fully use the phone to its capacity. In his dialogue, he talks about different ways to use the device to maximize its ability and - as librarians - to have the technology at our fingertips at any time.
He recommends getting a keyboard to attach to it, but cautions that it will not work like a desktop PC or full-sized tablet because it simply isn't. However, most the functions available on these devices are also available in one form or another using a cell phone.
The frustration I have with all this downloading is that the computer belongs to my work. How am I going to explain iTunes ... or the virus I seem to have acquired.
