# 7 Blog about Technology

Technology--yeah I do love it. I, like many people I would guess, just don't seem to make the time to explore it enough. I am enjoying these little exercises because it gives me the time to play around a bit. It is also affording me the opportunity to stay connected to the field of archaeology. There are some amazing things that are now possible in archaeological research made possible through technology.




This is a link to an article which discusses how the use of Google Earth (one of my favs) and Satellite Maps are aiding in archaeological research.

However, I am finding that technology is amazing in the library world as well with digital imaging of rare and unique collections. I find this one pretty amazing!



Claremont Colleges in California has some wonderful image in their online digital collections
