Title: The Future of Libraries Beginning the Great Transformation
Author: Thomas Frey
The article “The Future of Libraries Beginning the Great Transformation” begins with the amazing story of how Leonardo DaVinci was an incredibly smart individual that was way ahead of his time. This article tells much about the unbelievable speed of technology and how it progressed so quickly. It foretells how search engines started with text and will soon move to more responsive senses such as sound, touch, and feels. The article proceeds to specify how technology in this world will continue to change and how the roles of libraries are constantly changing. It tells how librarians need to embrace the change in order to help those that don’t necessarily understand the new areas of technology.
I think the article was great in informing the general public of how the technology changes and just how fast the changes are occurring. I have accepted embracing new technology as a part of life. I think it is great when new quicker and smaller gadgets are discovered and become available to the public. Things like video games, iPods, and computers are becoming better and smaller everyday. Even though these great toys are not always affordable people would still like to know how to use them. This is where librarians come into play and can share their vast knowledge of the technology world. Overall I think the article was great in informing others on how technology is changing and exactly how people think it is going to change. Maybe they are right and maybe they are wrong but no one knows until it happens.
