Public libraries are important for democracy according to David Bollier due to the fact that libraries “give away” information, they educate the children, help citizens make knowledgeable choices, and constantly strengthen our cultural heritage. Public libraries relate to the internet by what’s at hand, by a click of the mouse you are able to access just about anything.
What I think he’s getting at is what we are able to access for information, which what is too much freedom and what is too much information. Siva states that we are able to browse, use, reuse, alter, play with, distribute, share and discuss information at a click of a button. What is too much? What is too much freedom?
Siva hopes we are knowledgeable with what we access because we have so much that it could lead to something unforgivable.
