For some of us, there are entries in this list that are already a reality, at least in part. It will be better to look at both the positives and the negatives before we need to answer those questions.

I agree Mary; a lot of people are already seeing some of these entries
as reality. It's just that as I have read, and enjoyed, these Taiga
Forums, they strike me as generally pessimistic, when I think we could
be optimistic--and it is important that we should be optimistic, since
libraries provide an "added value" that no one else does. Still, as you
point out, we must look at the negative and positives. It just seems to
me that the positives seem to get lost in the shuffle sometimes.
