Thing 2 life long learning

23 things Thing 2 is letting us know that to educate ourselves with new technologies we definitely have to be self directed learners. For me it is about trying to find my way around in unfamiliar programs, which is self directed learning. This will take me a while to complete due to time restraints and lack of the new language that comes with new technologies.
Thing 2 video, Pointers for life long learners. As I watched this I felt it was there to motivate people who are not self directed learners. It gave advice on setting goals and how we all learn in different ways, which at this point would give the learner the opportunity to think how do I learn? and, Are these new tools for me?

I personally found watching The machine is using us more motivating because it gave me a purpose for using these new Web 2.0 tools.
