Technology and young children
I am a contributor to another blog, for the Special Library Association’s Information Technology Division. This morning I became aware of a really embarrassing situation: I found out that two personal posts were published to the SLA IT Division’s blog from my contributor account. They were posted accidentally by my two littlest children while they were playing with my Blackberry last night. (I have since removed both posts and substituted an apology/explanation.)
Typepad (the service that powers the SLA IT Division blog) has a really nice free client that I had only recently loaded onto my Blackberry. One of its features is integration with the camera such that whenever a photo is taken, Typepad automatically asks if I want to post it to my Typepad blog. My little ones happily pressed buttons and you now know the result…
This experience, while embarrassing, got me to thinking about how we try to evangelize about technology and its uses but at the same time, we need to be aware that it can be abused when in the wrong hands
