Reactions to Chapter 8

After reading most of Richardson's book "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts" and experiencing "new" (to me) technology firsthand, I don't see how people who subscribe to these technologies ever have time for anything not located on the computer. Who has time for all this stuff? If I were to contribute to wikipedia and make sure everyone who edited or added on to information I wrote, if I signed up for several different RSS feeds related to my interests, if I posted blogs consistently and read my followerers comments regularly, if I listened to podcasts and created movies through MovieMaker, if I uploaded pictures to Flickr, and tracked my friends through Twitter, if I...., if I...., if I...., then I, would have no life.

I'm fearful that one day my job will be overtaken by these new killer app's and technologies.

But, for right now, my job is secure, and I am very interested in the iPod lesson plans on apple.com. I love my touch iPod and think incorporating it in my classroom would be engaging and motivating to and for students.
