2.0 - thing 15

Finally I get what everyone's talking about. That was some good reading, especially the iceberg analogy and the OCLC woman who looked way into the future. It's exciting stuff that makes me wish I were more in the thick of things than working 4-12 hours per week. So many thoughts come to mind: what role will our buildings play? (I think that's still really important); what about the customers who are totally behind in all things technology?; more likely in the future, what about the customers who don't have money for any of it?; how can libraries afford to keep up? I'm sure these questions have all come up in the past few years that this has been discussed in libraryland, but I don't imagine there are easy solutions.
