  • Great point. Think of how incredible it would be if you could go on line and get manuals to fix any part of anything you own from a PS5 to a Refrigerator, to a Rivan Truck including all the protocols, chip sets, ect… Or just explore them to see how things work, I’m sure a lot of great inventions and ideas came about from people tinkering with and exploring manuals like these. Anymore these are considered “top secret” and you have to reverse engineer anything to figure out how it works. I think this speaks more to the fact that the things you “buy” these days aren’t really considered yours. You are borrowing the IP to use for a fee and if it breaks, tough shit. Throw it out and get a new one.

    They provide services to ALL people. So tired of reading that only the poor use the library. My kids are always begging to be taken there to get books and do activities. We just used the color printer/copier at ours the other day and the first 3 copies were free. Libraries are an amazing community resource for EVERYONE.
