Create or Consume!

Comparing libraries to Microsoft sounds silly, but when you continue reading, it kinda makes sense? They aren’t exactly hard up but they are struggling to keep up with Apple (although, I think much of Apple’s rise to fame can be attributed to hipsters…yes, I own an Ipad. I don’t use the internet on my phone…I’m going off topic). Anywho, this got me to thinking about how can you digitize something that needs to be seen in person? I don’t want a digital version of the Taj Mahal? or the catacombs of Paris? or the Hope diamond? I want to see it, not a digital version of it. Although, I get the author’s point…libraries have to get on equal footing as the Internet or die trying (no seriously, don’t die)
