Envy Our Past. Fear Our Future

Information as a Resource (The Farenheight 451 Reference)

The best part of this article in my opinion is the example the writer gives of Shakespear’s “Romeo and Juliet”. The writer claims that even if one could destroy every copy of “Romeo and Juliet” that ever existed that it would still live on in the memories of people. Therefore, it couldn’t be completely destroyed.  I found this to be a very interesting point. Especially when the writer mentions that many types of information interact with natural environments to produce cities and towns. It’s just how the information is stored that makes the difference.
