Ripping Wrong

Tuesday January 17, 2006 - 4:33PM EDT

A few posts ago I ripped a former Harvard Librarian for being paranoid about losing libraries.  Mainly I was peeved at what seemed to be a fear of technology.  But in further thinking about it today I liked almost all of what he said.  I think what came to mind was the metaphor of the library not the actual physical place.  To lose that library metaphor would be a terrible thing. Not sure if he meant the metaphor or the physical place or a little of both. I think I was just mad at his criticism leveled against technology and technologists.
