How do you feel about Libraries?

[Poitier]

How do you know books will always exist?

There are many books lost to history. Whether be burned, lost, cut up to the most tiniest pieces or any other event that ruins a book.

Just like if you lose internet in one area the data can be stored and accessed in another area.

Books have 10,000 years of history in their favor and even the books that have been lost have multiple editions and stitch together qualities that let us infer.

This is where the whole "the cloud is not trustworthy" argument comes into play.

A computer is not 3 dimensional and does not last as long as a bound book.

The thing with a digitized book is that when the medium it's stored in starts to fade, i can simply transfer it into a new medium and renew the shelf life. When a book starts to fall apart there's only so much duct tape you can shove on the spine. Look at how we handle ancient manuscripts. You can't tkae them out in sunlight, you have to wear special gloves, you can't breath on them, etc, etc. Books are not the end all to information storage my friend.

Are you really that afraid of technology?

Yes multiple copies which is the same thing as copying data.

Books that have been lost stay lost once all their copies are gone just like data.

Nope. What you just described is an advantage for e-books. Good for that medium. Are you really going to deny the essential need for physically bound books?

Also, it's not true that you can simply transfer it to a new medium. Tons of digital formats become archaic depending on the software/ hardware they were created with.

You literally just typed a bunch of incoherent gook. Most books have multiple editions, translations, copies, edits, rough drafts, etc

ebooks are easier to get rid of or control. plus libraries provide an environment.... as we progress we wont

We'll simply will update the environments to include more technology and more city ran cafes.

Man can cease to exist before technology.

Books and its material are natural just like us. They aren't godly and go down with natural disasters just like us.

Also I love how your quick to say that I've loss yet you've said nothing to go against what I say.

Books and writing have survived the test of time.

Can't say the same about technology.

Books are technology, so that is a bit of a misnomer. Now if you mean digital devices then we would agree.

Technology is still here from the date it first came to be to this day to where your using it yourself.

Libraries are awesome. I only wish they delivered or had a Netflix type option.
