Woowweee - Flickr with millions of photos to explore. I so enjoyed browsing some Antoni Gaudi ones -here is a sample

but r-e-a-l-l-y where does one find the time for this! Firefox did not allow me to upload an image but 'tis not for me anyway as I prefer to share my photos face to face or via email. I was successful however in uploading some images on Picasa - yet another large image bank.
All this connectivity - has technology stolen our soul? I can really relate to the sentiments expressed in a blurb on a new book in our collection called "The new social disease: from high tech depersonalization to survival of the soul" which is about how we personalise our computers and associated technologies while depersonalising others and ourselves. Well research insights into how increasing use of technology mediated communications is impacting on human lives resulting in loneliness, depression, social isolation, and the rise in uncivil behaviours based upon the frustrations, hopelessness and devaluation of human life! Unplug and save your soul - no not at all but there has to be a balance between the use of technology for human advantage, and developing valued human relationships!
