Does Chicago Tonight or WTTW have any plans to provide a panel discussion concerning the Future of Library Science and how Library Spaces are designed in the near future? There is so much potential for utilization of library space that is currently underutilized, and will continue to decline in future use, due to the introduction of technology into the lives of individuals. News comes to many individuals only through interaction with the internet at this time. Think how this will affect the interpretation of "popular culture" in the future, and provide limiting potential uses for useful interaction with printed media by the general public. Should we not, as a public venture, address these public places in a manner that would provide alternative useful opportunities for public growth from the management and provision of opportunities for adaptive interaction with technologies currently in use in society. The use of the printed word will fade like the use of the printed letter has today and the use of the telegraph did years ago, and a veritable "search engine results" of "antiquated subjects" has in the past. Should we not more correctly direct a discourse on the changing nature of public needs in this respect, to learn what benefit there might be to redefining how these spaces might be designed to provide the benefits that Library Spaces have provided in the context of the new technologies which will formulate interaction and growth moving forward. Thanks and I would love to hear your thoughts on this matter. I have a few suggestions that might make this piece important with respect to Public Private Partnerships which is abuzz today in the city. Why not allow corporate sponsors to assist us in these revisions. I can see a Steve Jobs Media Resource Center occuring within the next Five to Ten Years. Why not build it in Chicago? mmcknight@descotoinc.com
