One can work up their comfort level by trying something small and building up from there. For example, you don't have to start using blogging technology by going out and creating your own blog. You could simply try leaving some comments on the blogs you enjoy reading, work-related or knitting-related :). Practicing small tasks like this can keep you current without investing a whole lot of time. I've often found engaging discussions in the comments section of my favorite blogs.

I have always felt it was easier to learn new technologies by trying them out with something on a personal (i.e., non-work) level. For example, in the olden days, many people learned about databases by making a catalog of their personal libraries or a list of their wine cellars. If there are any knitters who read this who would like some recommendations about SNS for knitters, please contact me for recommendations. You can find my email address in the MLA Directory.
