RSS Method 4

I choose http://www.archaeology.org/rss.xml - 0.7 posts per week, http://feeds.nationalgeographic.com/ng/News/News_Main - 20.5 posts per , http://www.bib-arch.org/rss.xml - 4.2 posts per week as my feeds (don't know if I did this right).
Now this I can see where it would be helpful. When I get on the computer at home it is not that often or for that long, so if I am really interested in a subject it will be right there for me and hey I don't have to rack my poor brain trying to remember what I wanted to look at.

Method 3 - Cloud computing

I don't really see myself using these 'features' any where in the near future. I am a private person and I can't really see myself even storing my photo 'out there' to keep them safe.
But I can see some advantages, if you are more adventuresome than me. If you are into genealogy and have a lot of photos you want to share; if you don't have a computer and have to use a friends or a public one to do homework, etc., you don't have to worry about loosing a disk or flash drive.
But if you are a business are you willing to put all of your files 'out there' out of your control?
Of course if you are disorganized this might be a great way to keep at least one part of your life organized.
I quess this is another we will just have to wait and see.

Methods1 and 2

Looks like the end of libraries as we know them. Out with books and bring on the computers.
Sorry but it doesn't sound real exciting to me.
