I'm Going to the Library
I’m going to the library,
and moving very slow,
despite the fact that it’s a place
I’ve always liked to go.
But I’m not looking forward now
to being there at all,
and that is why I’m heading there
at practically a crawl.
I’m going to the library,
and I’m a bit afraid.
It’s all because of one mistake
I’ve accidentally made.
I’m filled with trepidation
mixed with downright misery,
convinced that the librarian
is furious with me.
I know that I’m in trouble,
so I’m in a frantic state.
I also know it’s all my fault,
and I deserve my fate.
I’m going to the library,
and shaking through and through—
the book I’m finally bringing back
is four years overdue.
The poem reminds me of, in my opinion, one of the best Seinfeld episodes (#22): The Library. My favorite scene was when Bookman, played by Philip Baker Hall, reads Jerry the riot act.
Bookman: Well let me tell you something, funny boy. You know that little stamp that says New York Public Library? Well that may not mean anything to you but that means a lot to me, one whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before, flashy, makin' the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "What's this guy making such a big stink about old library books?" Well let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world. But what about that kid, sitting down opening a book, right now, in a branch of the local library, and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees in The Cat in the Hat and The Five Chinese Brothers. Doesn't he deserve better? Look, if you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped. Or, maybe that turns you on, Seinfeld. Maybe that's how you get your kicks, you and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for you, joy-boy: Party time is over. You got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week.

Some online threats are quite obvious (to most internet users, I hope). For instance, there's the lengthy email asking me for my bank account number and routing number so that I can help some poor soul transfer money from an oversea account. Then there are the countless emails from individulas I do not know. They usually have attachments and subjects lines such as, "Re: photos" or "message from a friend!". Sure, Friend, I'll open that attachment right away....
A threat that requires further action by the threatened is less threatening than it once was; people are more aware now and less likely to bite. However, with increasing frequency, malicious code is being passed on to web users unbeknownst to them. A recent paper entitled The Ghost in the Browser suggests the following:
A new Google report researching 4.5 million web sites found that about one in ten web pages could successfully "drive-by download" a trojan horse virus onto a visitor's computer.
Run anti-virus software. Keep it updated. Be smart.

This amazing video presentation was created in an effort to motivate teachers to more effectively use technology in their teaching. It draws on many of the same themes described by Marc Prensky in his frequently cited essay, "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants".
Thanks to the author of one of my favorite blogs, "What I learned Today", for linking to the site that led me to this incredible screencast inspired by Friedman's book.
