Are you saying that the computers are inferior to the books as a resource for "iteracy, knowledge, research, ideas and creativity"?
Pound for pound, inch for inch, and dollar for dollar, the computers are better than the books.
- tommorris 15y agoNo, I'm saying that both are needed. Thinking that computers will solve all problems in libraries and can just be a drop in replacement for books is a bit like thinking that bicycles will solve all transportation problems. Computers and IT do improve literacy, knowledge, research, ideas and creativity. But in a huge number of specific cases, books are very much needed too, and will be for a long time to come.
