7 1/2 Habits

While I've always thought of myself as a lifelong learner, I've never really included technology in my learning categories. I suppose it's because I don't consider myself a "tech geek" as so many of my library co-workers do themselves. It's just been something I've had to learn to keep up with my job and with society (to a degree anyway). But viewing the video has made me reconsider how I've been resisting the 2.0 culture. I like the approach that it's attidunal and that "attitude is everything". If I can adjust my attitude and commit time to this lifelong learning project, I should be able to achieve my goal of getting up to speed with current web technologies. So the hardest habit would be #3 of viewing problems as challenges combined with #6 using technology to my advantage. The easiest habit will be #7 1/2 since I have an insatiable curiosity for learning (just not usually on the technology side).
