* You don't need to understand how it works; you just need to know how to use it
* Play with technology! Kick the tires!
* Avoid technolust (technology should fill a need)
* We can learn a lot when we open ourselves up to feedback and collaboration
* We need to be where our patrons are

10. The Internet Is Already Ubiquitous And Portable."
