How will it change the Library? (Assuming that the library survives)
The library looks the same
The information Changes
Books & other information includes RFID chips
Digital networked information become semantic
Patrons are identified by profile or RFID chips
Our going preference for smaller mobile computing devices will actually be a good thing for libraries
There will continue to be things we'll want to do that require larger tools
We'll continue to want to be social
Information becomes intelligent
