This was the easiest task of all. Thanks to Wikipedia the concept of wikis was pretty easy to grasp. I really liked the idea of wikis being used to replace constantly changing documents like work manuals. The job of updating hard copy manuals is such a labour intensive job. Wikis could really help to ease the workload.
I have found it very interesting to see the use of some of this technology through the eyes of the next generation. My 8 year old son loves wikis. His favourite right now is the Super Mario Wiki. He says he loves the fact that he can learn everything he wants to know about Mario from the wiki. He loves the links that allow him to follow things like spinoffs and remakes of Mario. He especially loves the links to YouTube videos of Mario games. He isn't in the least amazed by the technology or its functionality. He just takes it in his stride. His attitude reminds me that this is what is expected of us by our younger patrons. They are not impressed at all, they expect it.
This is Ciaran's favourite wiki:
