# 6 More Flickr fun - # 7 Technology

There are so many great applications in Flickr - I will have to go back later and really explore them more! I especially liked the idea of http://www.mappr.com/ - where you take Flickr images and paste them on a map - great idea for the traveller! The Flickr color pickr was fun to play around with all the colours and themes also. The Mashup Award Winners had amusing sites such as Plotshot - that depicts a randomly created plotline!

My technology related thoughts really focus on how far techonology has come in the late 20th century and early 21st century. My teenage children use computers and related technology as naturally as they eat and sleep. Communication with friends is often over MSN and homework is reliant on having a home computer. It makes me think of how foreign a concept this was to me as a teenage in the 1970s but how well we have all embraced all of the changes technology has brought about. Learning 2.0 is gently pushing me - an adult to explore further and be amazed!
