Metaphors we live by

Posted on February 15, 2014
by John Jackson

From Library Babel Fish:

“The future can be used for all the wrong reasons. The language we use about libraries and the future is often dystopian and apocalyptic, full of death threats: adapt or die; libraries are screwed; embrace disruptive innovation or resign yourselves to irrelevance.”
