Digitization vs Traditional Libraries

In class we talked about the merits of both digitization and traditional libraries and if there is a room where both could work together. One of the things that challenged the idea that digitization is all-good is that we still don’t have the appropriate technology to fully implement our ideas about how libraries and digital copies of books would work together. With my essay being on the digitization of borges library and its limits in digitized form, I hear constantly here and there the limitation of todays technology. Though I think there is truth in this, that limitation of our technology limits our ability to create the fantastical library, I think that the past also plays a huge role in limiting us. The pre-existing networks, copyright etc all contributes to why we cant really “change” as drastically as we hope/or don’t hope.
