I like this definition of libraries in light of how technology is transcending traditional space-time barriers within which they have existed. Technology is stretching the "boxes" outside of which we think; even eliminating the box altogether. Was it ever 2 dimensional anyway? Think outside the cube. Think outside the orb. Transcend the metaverse of space-time. The human spirit - the final frontier? (posted 01/04/10)
