The Afterword: A Conversation About the Future of Words

We are living in a "continuous ongoing tide of information and technology" according to our guest Noah Schumerth. Our other guest this week, George Fletcher shares that we carry enormous amounts of data in our pockets.

What will smart cities provide as we distribute this information? How will communities trade off the availability of data and access for personal privacy? Can our libraries help democratize the wave of technology that is beginning to become embedded into our world? Do the benefits of #SmartCities outweigh the negatives? Could libraries be the plumb lines to help citizens balance and bridge the inequalities in our communities? Our conversation helps us answer these questions and more!
