                                                   Source Revolution

In the 1980s books began disappearing. Not only were they displayed less often in retail stores but in homes and libraries as well. Instead individuals, libraries,  educational institution and retail stores were displaying many more computers. The latter frantically offered row after rows of computers. I fully expected Savannah's imposing Bull Street library to change the motto over its main entrance to read MAKE COMPUTERS THY COMRADES. Somehow, that just doesn't have the same awe inspiring affect as its current words "MAKE BOOKS THY COMRADES".

Computers are certainly a wonderful modern convenience. My former neighbor called the telephone number of of the Sears 24 hour catalog her suicide help number.  Computers masterfully handle massive amounts of data efficiently. Beware, however, of the details of products for sale and sources. The former is often replaced by customer reviews with some even verified. While the latter may merely abandon any mention of sources. 

Don't even mention and get me stated on Wikipedia.
