Library Luddite?

Synchronistically I found these quotes in a book called The Enclopedia of Crime Scene Investigation by Michael Newton:

"Inventor, n. A person who makes an ingenious arrangement of wheels, levers and springs, and believes it civilization". ----Ambrose Bierce

"If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket, technology can help it get there by jet. It won't change the desire or the direction, but it can greatly speed the passage". ---Charles M. Allen.

The thing is the techology and these little boxes called blogs are only one of a range of options that we might choose to get our (the Library's) message across. They just happen to be the newest "sexiest" version.

Before we start "saying" things willy nilly shouldn't we work out what we think, what we want to say and how we want to say it?
