Reflection 2

In the course of this class, I have learned a valuable lesson.... the Internet does not and should not replace a need and love for a library. Sure you can find a lot of the same information online that you can find in a book, but where is the interaction of a human being on the Internet. Half of the learning is the road it takes to get to the answer and the people you will meet in the process. Nothing can replace the way a human being can make you feel. With that said, no I do not think the Internet should ever replace the need of a library. You can't get lost in a good story on the Internet the way you can in a book. The Internet doesn't have the old worn smell to it. I think my view on the library has changed in the course of this library because I never gave them much thought, they were just another building, but now I have relearned the joys that the library can bring a person, the same feelings I felt as a child, they are fresh inside again. I will admit the Internet does still play a big role in my life, but not at the expense of the library anymore.
