From library to googlary, I think that this process is impossible. For that Google cannot be a library, although it is so popular and useful. Besides, in my opinion, the relation between library and googlary is just a part of the relation between the traditional tools and modern technology. We must say that Google help modern people a lot and supply a lot of convenience. We can find the information from it without go to the library to look up the books. Its advantages cannot be ignored. However, I think that Google is different from the library and just like all the other traditional things we have, the library still cannot be replaced and it still has the advantages.
The impression of the library is usually a big and quiet room with numbers of rows of shelves full of books. People must walk between the shelves to find out what they need. In library, people cannot get what they want at once. They have to spend efforts on the process. The impression of Google is just that we type in the words about what we want and press the ‘enter’, then a lot of information comes out. In my opinion, from the process and the result, library and Google are totally different. When we type in the key word, a lot of information comes out. However the information is not all useful. Usually, some articles we do not want may also appear on the screen just because the key words are in the article. Therefore, after typing in the words in Google, we still need choose the useful information from so many the useless. However, in library, the books are not arranged in such a messy way. We may find the books with the same theme together, but not because they have the same words.
Besides, I think that in library, we get books. However, in Google, we get information, but not books. Although books provide information, they are still different. People will choose to use Google when they face some problems and want to get some in formation about that. However, nobody may want to read a whole book on the computer for pleasure or investigating. Thus, library can serve people a place to read the books. Google cannot achieve this, even though it made all the digitalized books. There may still be no one want to read. For reading on the computer is unhealthy and that we cannot find the atmosphere and pleasure from reading the real books. In another way, from Google, we can only get the information about one subject during the process of finding, but in the library, we may get some other surprising books during the finding. As a result, Google can only give people service when people are busy and concentrate on some subject. For those free people who enjoy reading, library is obviously more suitable.
Moreover, I think that library is not just a place of books for reader. It is also a symbol for the knowledge. Library is sublime, just like the disciplines in the library. No matter how many digitalized books Google can serve, it cannot become the symbol, but a webpage. For the culture of library is already formed in people’s brains, just like the book cannot be made without paper.
Therefore, I think that today, we have library. Tomorrow, we may have googlary, but we will still have library. The library will not be replaced. We should do so if we think that knowledge and books are still valuable.
