Future Libraries - WOW - Scary, exciting, incomprehensible, sensible, alienating yet in a way so sociable....
The pace and immediacy of technology as it evolves and as libraries evolve with it is fascinating yet at times beyond my comprehension. The Libraries 2.0 Program is now fitting together for me and I can now see the overall picture I think.....
Knowledge has never been finite, but now where and when can anyone stop, satisfied they have discovered all they can at any point in time? There is so much out there and more every minute.
Perfectionists and obsessives beware.
Will people still leave their computers long enough to enjoy the feel of a well thumbed book written by an expert, buy a newspaper or a magazine,will they attend classes, lectures, tutorials, theatres, cinemas, art galleries, museums, even libraries?Will the social interface of learning be a computer screen/ i pod / mobile phone? Will the world be divided even further by those with technology at their fingertips and those without? I wonder..........
