So I've just done it. I have signed up for YouTube.com and I feel a little soiled but I'm not quite sure why. The reason for undertaking such a monumental (or is that banal for some of you) task is that I want to share a video of an elderly scientist that I shot for a class project and to help upgrade the University of Colorado's Natural History Museum website. (Is that one word or two?)
The odd feeling comes from the embracing of technology that I not so long ago simply tolerated. In fact, I have not only embraced it but am currently adopting it as a component in my future career. I'm not talking about just using a computer but actually learning how to use it as an educational and research tool. I have to admit that I am pretty excited about the prospects.
Boring, right? Fair enough. But new knowledge is power, or some such cliche, and ultimately being about to disseminate information about the history of science and its future directions is a wonderful undertaking. To post video of someone who has shaped my future is an honor and allows the bringing to life those whose shoulders upon which we stand.
Stay tuned for more about the entire project.
