Response to Artifact 9

It was surprising to me that art museums are taking advantage of the technology that our society provides. I always considered museums to be more antique. That's the opposite of "new technology". Using Facebook and Twitter to their advantage is useful for providing information to the new age. It seems they are finding new creative ways to reach out to a younger demographic by mixing social sites with ancient history. The Internet also provides the museums with the opportunity for the customers to give them feedback. This, in turn, gives them an idea on ways to improve. However, there are unfortunately set- backs. The old buildings make it very difficult to have wireless Internet set up. This is going to require the museums to become more creative in their outreach.
