Summary
Libraries have been more than a place for books for the world. Libraries have been a place to store ideas and drawings of people like Leonardo Da Vinci. They are also a place most people have atleast some fond memories of. Technology is playing a major part in why Libraries are going through and will continue to go through a drastic change. As society becomes more and more global everyday new standards will come about and information will be even more accessible. As all technology has a beginning it also has an finite lifespan. One day all the technology we know today we bill dead and gone as new technology is invented each and every day. As life becomes more about experiences instead of products the Libraries of the world will change to provide different and better ways for us to experience information and technology.
Response
As libraries do become more and more technology based it will be interesting to see if all these claims come true like " literacy will be dead by 2050". As keyboards may give way to a verbal society I don't believe litreacy will ever be dead especially not by 2050. Also I don't believe TV's or cell phones will ever make a complete exit. They will for sure continue to improve but never a complete exit. It is difficult to imagine how many other ways information can be spread. With TV, print, phones, and the main one internet, what else can be done.
