Systems overload

For me, this week has been full of excitement in the world of technology systems. Between work and school, one would think that databases, software, and information systems are my best friends. I think if I calculated the amount of time I spend using technology systems one would have to agree that it far outweighs the time I spend on anything else. So, if this is the case, why do I still feel like I have such little grasp on the world of technology and the systems involved. I was thinking about this last night while I looked around my room, where I do NOT have a computer. As looked at the books in my room, I realized I am not much of a tech person at heart. This does not mean that I am uncomfortable with technology or have a dislike for it, I just don't get too excited about jumping into it and studying the finer points of the art. I wonder if there is a place for people like me who see its value and work with it regularly; but just don't have a strong desire to transform themselves into a tech junkie. I think one of the things I have learned and get a bit more excited about is the wonderful advantages some of the new technologies out there can add for collaboration in any field of study. Also for librarians, we need to be focused on best serving our communities and getting the information to them in the most user friendly and efficient manner possible. I guess this semester I have been bombarded at work and school with new technologies and systems; maybe I was just fighting the inevitable by not being as open to technology as I should have been earlier. I'll probably be better off once the dust clears a bit, I just feel like I'm in the middle of it right now.
