Technology related blog - as instructed!

This exercise is to write about technology in your blog. This is going to be a stretch - I haven't had time to even play? properly as time this last couple of weeks will and has been very tight. I've read about some of the new technologies coming - paperless text - the "paper" for want of a word is one that stores the image of text on a film thingo and it stores it for about 24 hours - if I'd had the week I've had I probably would have never seen it!!! It's supposed to replace paper - but if it only lasts a certain time is it worth it? It would be very good for temporary things. Just reading "Splendour of Letters" by Basbanes - interesting proposition on how some books/papers were only meant to be kept temporarily - but have become a permanent record by the nature of the content - what to do with a chalkboard of a list of firemen who went to the World Trade Centre and only 4 came back - it is now preserved because of what it represented. How did they preserve it - they encased it in plastic, now it is an object. Will libraries be able to collect this "temporary technology" for notes written by artists/authors/ etc. A challenge - especially as the whole premise is to disappear. What thoughts for a Sunday!!!
