I've just read/viewed through the suggested articles/videos for for L2. Maybe it's just today, but the whole thing makes me tired. I agree with it. I think this is the way the world is going, and we libraries and librarians had better get with the program or else, but I'm not convinced that it will improve my personal world all that much. There's nothing right or wrong with L2--it's just the path we are all on. No doubt, those of us who embrace the interactivity that it offers will find many good things about it. It just always comes down to how one wants to spend the time available.
Since I work in a school, I think about this world of social connectivity a lot. It absorbs and attracts so many of our students. And so much of it doesn't really advance their critical thinking skills and their knowledge of the broader world. Granted, it "could" do this, but I haven't seen much evidence.
Maybe I am just in need of a long nap.
