First i thought the ending of the book was good. It left more of an open ending for our imagination but it also leaves room for the next book. I wasnt too fond of this book, I like Bet Me more. I agree with what someone else said today in it was kinda a slow book, it seemed like nothing happened, nothing excite happened like in the last book.
But today in class we talked about the ibooks and other things replacing the library and that soon technology will replace more than that... Well at work customers when they use the self-checks for the first time they always joke that it will replace real cashiers. and every time i tell them it can never replace us because there are too many errors in the system and errors made by the user. And then there are the people who refuse to even try it and prefer a cashier.
Technology will always grow and upgrade but i don't think it will ever replace a real person. The systems and programs will never be error free. Even if technology became more popular and replace people's jobs there is still someone needed to fix the machines.
You make a good comparison with the grocery store self-checks. I hate those things!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to get one of those ibook things. But I figured there's always going to be something new and "improved" or better coming out, I'll just wait I guess. I probably wouldn't even have a clue what to do with it lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, there will always be the need of someone to fix the machine, but what about people who may not be well suited for machine/technology jobs? The people who's real passion and interests lies in books, information, and other literary works? Should they just be sent to the curb? What would that say about Intellect in modern day society?
