Final thoughts

If offered a similar opportunity, I would opt in. I've enjoyed learning new things, from blogging to avatars to wikis. And it was all surpringly easy!

Gaming

Gaming online is fun. I like the crossword puzzles and scrabble games.

Maps and Geotagging

I love maps! Everything about Google Earth is fun and useful.

Avatars and Second Life

My virtual self makes her debut. I imagine I would have enjoyed playing in virtual reality as a child. Real life seems much more interesting to me at this point.

Online Applications

Google Docs and Zoho were easy to use and convenient.

Search Engine

Rollyo, Mamma, and Dogpile are great alternatives to Google, but after a search on all four search engines, I still prefer Google for the sheer scope of that engine.

Podcasting

So much is available at our fingertips! I listened to a lecture on art history and heard great American speakers.
