One aspect of physical libraries, and the marketing thereof, that has not
been addressed is that not all of the world's population is either
computer-literate or has access to or owns a computer with internet
access. When traveling within the United States, how many of us know where
to look for an internet cafe? Starbucks may be wired for wireless, but
that doesn't help if I don't have a laptop. Libraries need to plan for the
future, but they will always serve economically and technologically
challenged communities.
