Small in retrospect
Thanks to Art for his thoughtful comment on Dan Chudnov’s post last week. Art says it far better than I:
I really believe that humanity’s ability to share information and narratives is a large part of the metric for any progress in the future, and I think your vision would enable this in ways that would make many of the current technology initiatives in libraries seem small in retrospect. But I do think that there is a disconnect between the mechanisms built by libraries for fostering sharing and the need to extend the reach of these structures globally.
