How do you unzip a file again?  I have completely forgot.

I am not that social with technologies.  Just the other day I was talk to my co-workers and some of my friends and found out that myspace is no longer popular.  Myspace is use for sharing of music only now by my friends.  Everyone is using facebook.  I am on facebook, but not on myspace.  Just last year I was told your only on facebook, you need to be on myspace.  Turns out everyone has which to facebook.  I find it interesting at how fast things come into favor and leave with social networks.  As an organization I think it is important to remember that social networks come and go.  So don’t put all organization eggs in one basket and be prepared to which.  Agree, disagree?

If you do not want to make you websites view by the public because of copyright could you use robots.txt?

I do not have a tech question this week instead I have food for thought about this week readings.  My food for thought on the readings is that technology is taking over our lives.  I would not be surprised if the next generation will grow up without ever having to touch a pen or paper.  My feeling is that paper will be come precious as stone tablets are today, rare and beautiful piece of history.  The art of writing is disappearing.  Penmanship is no longer taught at school, but typing is more and more necessary and replacing writing.  I am not so worried about lost of digital history, because there are so many people invested and working on preserving digital history that we will figure it out.  I am more worried about lost of how we write and communicate though paper and pen.  I having a feeling that in 100 years there will no longer be pen and paper.

What should we use stuff that we might not have information about the original form because we got it off of the internet?  I have stuff that I am using but meta data has links that no longer works. What should I do?

I am downloading pictures from the internet onto my computer to upload on my web page.  Should I do that or should I just link pictures to my website?

Does it affect the look of the website, if you use digital photographs and scanned pictures in your website?  How can you clear it up, if it does?

I think that Krug was right when he said that people don’t read everything on a website.  People are only looking for the information that is important to him or her.  People do not read the whole website like a book.  People interact with the website more like an encyclopedia. Flipping to passages that he or she want to read and hardly looking a the rest (if at all) to the rest of the site.  I can’t think of a website that I have gone to and had read every single word or used every link.  For that matter I come to expect that websites should be easy to use.  If a website is not easy to use normally I do not go back unless I have to.  I get very impatient with website, if I cannot find what I am looking for I give up easily compared to the real world.  In the real world I have the patience and deal with not finding what I am looking for.  I  feel that I can ask people for help and get quick answers.  I find that dealing with computers answers are hard to come by or take time compare to the real world.  I may be the only one to find this true.

I think I have downloaded Omeka, but I seem not able to open the file.  It is in my computer.  When I click on the file it opens to more files.  Is that what suppose to happen?  I very confused…Help Ann
