Angie, I like talking to the librarians too, but it was quite exciting to use the machines, since they reminded me of something out of Star Trek.

Always interesting to learn reactions to the automated checkouts. My husband and best friend (both extreme introverts) absolutely love it whereas I really enjoy seeing a librarian behind the desk and getting to talk with someone and ask questions.

Nothing lasts forever. Not in the physical world, not in the virtual world. Will I use Keep? It depends on how it fits into my workflow. But as long as my data can be easily exported (like it could with Reader) I’m willing to use it.

Comment on What will the Earth be like in 2050 if we do nothing about climate change? by Shannon

While I agree with some of your sentiment, Golgibody, I can’t agree with your solution. The unintended consequences of policies like the one child policy can be severe, and I am afraid that it is going to cause severe upheaval in China as a generation comes of age with limited marriage prospects. A much better solution is the education of women and girls, which has proven to result in a natural restriction of procreation.
