Rumor has it that the library in Alexandria was contained so many scrolls was due to the a rule that all docking boats had to have their scrolls copied and added to the library. Imagine the bandwidth of a watercraft loaded with scrolls. I have always viewed libraries as form of distributed knowledge and research using the current forms of technology. The 1970s is about when electronic data became practical. The issue with information is knowing where and how to find it when needed. The internet only represents the where to find it. The best views on media and human development I have seen was a book called tube of plenty. This is a condensed version of a a three book series. I enjoyed the condensed book so much I read the 3 expanded versions. https://www.worldcat.org/title/1036961770 https://www.worldcat.org/title/1036961770
