I think the key is not to be scared of technology. I've just about taught myself to do everything I need on a computer by trial and error. You just need the confidence to play around with stuff and not worry about breaking the Internet or something. ;)<BR/>If you were to ask me - a total lay person - what's digital heritage, I would probably say all those things you mention. It's an enormous field to play with; constantly expanding I guess.<BR/><BR/>Would be great if we could use your del.icio.us feed. How does that work then? ;)The Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418156698058196228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33352276.post-74775227289929707252007-05-01T11:53:00.000+01:002007-05-01T11:53:00.000+01:00Thanks both of you.

You know, the fact that you are blogging at all (and I wasn't, at least publicly!)shows that you already know enough about technology - it's (often)useful and it's a great tool for communication. Sure, there's more, but getting on and using it is the main thing.<BR/>Digital heritage is a great term, but a little slippery. Are we talking about the digital stuff that deals with heritage (from this blog, to e-journals, to museum websites and podcasts); or about <I>digitised</I> heritage, like photos or 3D models of objects or places; or about the heritage of this young digital sphere - the archaeology of the internet etc. I'm mainly thinking about the first two but the last has some relevance.<BR/>If it's useful I could post an awful lot more links, or Amy, if you want to put something in the sidebar why not use my del.icio.us feed? I can make sure that all the relevant stuff is appropriately tagged.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209315592056360247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33352276.post-55883817876298870922007-05-01T11:18:00.000+01:002007-05-01T11:18:00.000+01:00Hello Jeremy and great first blog!

As with Amy, I must admit to being baffled by the world of computers and technology (contributing to a blog is about the most I can stretch to at the moment) so will do my best to keep up!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607190124293660893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33352276.post-27826549574343704262007-05-01T11:16:00.000+01:002007-05-01T11:16:00.000+01:00Welcome to The Attic Jeremy!

I will have to set up some sort of Digital Heritage links thingy in the sidebar when I've got a min'.The Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418156698058196228noreply@blogger.com
