Gorman: Human Values in a Technological Age

This struck me as a very enlightened view of technology's role in life and librarianship. It was illuminating and somewhat humbling to think about the people of 1901 and why they (justifiably!) considered themselves technologically advanced.

We're in a continuum of technological change, and our exuberance for recent developments can certainly lead to a myopic view of information tools. We may celebrate the latest tech trends to the diminishment of earlier techs (or should I say "texts"?). Print is a powerful information technology too, and we shouldn't let digital evolution blind us to that.
