Until such time that the video/audio computerized service manual on how to make repairs on the video/audio computers breaks... I have never once had to recharge or replace batteries in any of my books. As for me? I will pass on this brave new world... I kind of like the world I am/was in...

Computers responding to the human voice will have the ability to file and retrieve audio files as quickly, easily and efficiently as they handle text files today. Information will be stored as audio and video, not text. When this brave new world arrives, libraries will be obsolete since nobody will bother to learn to read or write. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To: mark.al...@l-3com.com; bmixon...@austin.rr.com; texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2011 15:22:13 -0500 From: cavera...@aol.com Subject: Re: [Texascavers] OT - The Relevance of Public Libraries Right on, Mark. Libraries are a hallmark of civilization, and they should remain forever supported and viable.

They have a HUGE collection of all the books by Kinky Friedman and I've read just about all of them. Working on Clive Cussler now. My daughter still goes quite often and my kids used to love getting books there, when they were younger. Now, if only their old man could have remembered to get the books returned in time. I could have saved a small fortune. Not to mention all of the CD's and DVD's they have available for checkout. For those with kids, or on a budget, or who loathe the idea of reading a book on a Kindle or somesuch, you can't beat your public library!
