Summarizing

I think this is a great program. It is nice to have the opportunity to have exposure to the latest computer tech. I played around with the different search engines that were made available. I learned about setting up a blog and tagging which are useful. I think staff should have some awareness as to the interest of the public. If this program was offered in the future, I would like to participate.

E-Books

I think it is a great service with a variety of subjects. It's great for research and looking up information. However, the traditional hardpage books are easier on your eyes. Also, you can take the book to any room instead of sitting for hours in front of computer.

You Tube

I picked this video because of the scenery. There are a variety of topic to choose from. I chose traveling. I noticed videos in other languages as well. I could not tell by picking the video as to what language it may be.
