I've probably posted this before. I love it when I get a patron who comes to the desk and says "I came to you because I want you to keep your job." I smile, scan their card with one hand and pull their stack of books onto the pad with the other. After 2 seconds, I push the books back. "Due in 3 weeks." They blink and sputter, saying, "is that it?" Yes, yes it is. It's easy for me to say, since there are still plenty of tasks at the library that require my help. But while I hate it when anyone loses their job, I'd also not want to pay for salaries when the jobs really aren't necessary. I came up with a silly analogy for this. Let's say that there was no paper technology. All information had to carved onto tablets or written on slates or simply remembered. If you wanted to remember lots of things you'd have to hire people to remember them for you. A string of rememberers would follow you all day long. If someone invented paper, it would mean joblessness for all those employees, but it would be really stupid to ignore such an innovation.
