>A great argument in favor of funding for public libraries, or their 21st-century equivalent. Yeah, I think about this often. The public library was a huge part of my life from as early as I can remember - my window to the world. That hasn't changed for a lot of people, but the method of delivery is different. The library is now a place to access the Internet. It puts things in perspective to see people line up at the library for a time-limited shot at the kind of access to information I've grown to take for granted. This leads to be a strong supporter of efforts to spread cheap/free Internet access.
