Learning 2.0 brings this question into my consciousness. Web 2.0 consumes much of my time at home and now also at work. (Well in a limited way, due to the organisational IT restrictions)
Do I want to spend more time writing about how I have been wasting or spending my day? Already I deprive myself of sleep catching up on missed TV on youtube (exactly as Stephen Fry perfectly surmised) or responding to all the notifications on my facebook profile.
But what better way to spread the message of how great the "The machine is us/ing us" video clip was, rather than repeating it 1/2 dozen times to colleagues or friends and family. Being part of producing a library website in the 1990s allowed me to be very familiar with HTML and the brilliant way it used this to demonstrate the point was very effective and also brought a smile to my face. I also loved the funky background music and the all over the place clicking and fast movement. What better way to communicate a message to someone from the "MTV generation"!
So, blogging can become my tool/box and quite frankly all of the other 6 1/2 habits merge into this learning experience. I think recounting all my learnings each week into a blog will also create a longer learning method for life.
