While selecting RSS feeds I stumbled upon some promotional videos for National Library Week that were quite humorous. They’re posted at: http://alfocus.ala.org/categories/national-library-weekCan’t wait to see the final version of SIL’s promo video.
While I see the advantages of RSS feeds, I personally would use them sparingly. Part of the reason I still read the physical newspaper is to discover news about things I wasn’t aware of. Seems like technology is in a way allowing people to finetune on their specific interests (a good thing, I suppose) but possibly at the expense of knowing what else is out there. Maybe all I care about is the latest national sports stories when I might be better off learning what’s going on in national politics or what is going on in my local community. When all I hear is what I want to, it becomes a little too easy to settle into consumer mode and disengage from being a citizen.
