I am at a conference. The keynote speaker was Larry Irving, the man who coined the phrase “The Digital Divide.” Much of what he had to say needs to percolate in my mind but, since I’m at a conference and most people feel compelled to blog when they are at a conference…here’s my Conference Tidbit of the Day:

Larry Irving quoted at stat about youtube usage that was so astounding that I had to look it up to believe it. Irving said that over 150,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube every day. Daily. I am astounded by this. As a librarian, it made me think about the evolution of information and a whole bunch of other stuff that I’m too tired to deal with right now. So, here’s a youtube video. It is not information…or is it?
