Writer Hate

The Greats Hate

Writers are insecure people, that is true. They typically feel inadequate about their writing. Mostly, this is because they find other successful writers to be inadequate as well. This infographic illustrates this phenomenon by highlighting the nasty things that writers have said about their colleagues. Enjoy!

Tech Leaders

Perception is Everything

When students want to learn how to use new technologies, where do they go? According to a fairly recent study performed by the School Library Journal (2013 wasn't THAT long ago, right?) it appears they ask their librarian!

This study focuses on K-12. I wonder what we would find if the study were expanded to higher education.

Is Information Hindering Society Socially?

Real Talk

I just saw this infographic video on the affect of Social Media on our loneliness. It raises some interesting concerns about the sociology of human interaction and how Social Media changes that. While I don't believe we need a clean break from Social Media, we do need to remember these points for a healthy, complete social life. The video makes some excellent points, including the following.

• We're sacrificing conversation for connection.
• We're expecting more from technology and less from each other.
• We slip into thinking that always being connected is going to make us feel less alone.
• If we are not able to be alone, we're only going to know how to be lonely.
