Week 6 -- Web 2.0 Comment

So I read the entry on Web 2.0 and some perspectives. The last line stood out to me most -- But no matter which side of the debate proponents fall, both sides agree that libraries of tomorrow, even five or ten years from now, will look substantially different from libraries today.

I can't help but think back to the futures conference I attended. The information world as we know it will be pretty much non-exsistant. Many are predicting the end of the PC as we know it. Instead computers will be a part of us, in our clothes in our cars and yes, maybe in our bodies. I wonder if our profession will then become obsolete, or if we'll still be needed to navigate information.
