Default Re: Libraries: a cave where genius abides

I miss the days when you had to go to a library to get knowledge. There's something about having it at your fingertips and in a highly ephemeral form that makes knowledge less meaningful.

I agree with this, there is just something about books/paper and collections of them.

On the good side, paper is superior to digital media when it comes to durability, so it still has some tricks up it sleeve. It is (as of yet) the best way of storing knowledge over very large periods of time.
