FavoriteThings@NLC

Well, adding content and links to a PBwiki site couldn't be easier. Who invents these wonderful apps, anyway!? And what's next? Whatever it is, the U.S. is going to need a lot more bandwidth so we can all use these tools and gain access to the knowledge created as a result. It is disheartening to read that the big ISPs are beginning to ration bandwidth or switching to a pricing scheme that charges by the amount you download. You know, everyone should have fast, broadband access. And, it should be free! Yes, I've been accused of being an impatient idealist, but if we are moving toward a knowledge-based economy and becoming an information society, wouldn't it be a good idea to work on expanding the network we use to transfer and share our products? One of my fantasies is that when a child is born, she/he would get not only a Social Security number, but an IP address as well.

Anyway, I had fun adding content to the NLC Learning 2.0 Wiki Sandbox. No one had added favorites to the other areas, so I started by adding some restaurants that are my favorites. I hope to see more favorites entries soon.
