Digital data will soon overtake us all. There is so much of it that it is impossible to imagine just how much that really is.

There is so much of it that it is impossible to imagine just how much that really is.

Whenever I ride past the Public Library and see what an imposing edifice it is, filled with 1,000s upon 1,000s of books, I realize what a waste of time, space, and money it is, because everything that is in that library, I can access from my computer with just a few clicks of the mouse.

The Internet has become our Technological Library of Alexandria, where all man's knowledge now exists in cyberspace.

Yes, but the pleasure of sitting with a book in hand, some beverage by my side, my feet up, maybe a blanket over my feet and legs, in a warm house in the winter cannot be replaced by sitting in front of a monitor. Same with the Sunday paper. Yes, books take up space, but reading a book for pleasure that one can hold in your hands and turn the pages is priceless. As I age, they become more and more one of life's greatest pleasures.
