The Commons

A lot of people get their information from the computer and the internet, but where does that information come from normally? Someone wrote it down that’s where. No one would have known about Thanksgiving or Independence Day if someone did not write it down. Our history is from books. The library is a place where people can go to look up information in books and not just type things in and hope what you are looking for comes up on Google. The library has the books that will get you the very best information.

When I think of the word anarchy I think of chaos or freedom particularly from government. With the ease of getting all this knowledge there could be anarchy because anyone can get information because you can download things legally or illegally. While this may not be a bad thing for people using the free information or could be a bad thing for people who want to make money from the information. Either way the people using the information want free reign on it and the people that have the information want it to be limited to people so they can make money off of it. Anarchy can be good with the sharing of information. I think people should be able to share things for free some of the things that people don’t want to share could save people’s lives which I find ridiculous to try to hide.
