Yesterday we spent a few minutes at one of our many favorite libraries. I was alarmed to discover that we are to now check-out our own books using a handy-dandy scanner. Additionally, I observed a librarian instructing a patron on how to reserve a computer for herself and how to do it without assistance the next time. What will happen to the librarians??! Will their role be reduced to that of reshelving the books that I have plucked from the shelf and checked out for myself?
I see this trend continuing when, at a store that shall remain nameless, I discovered a self check out line. My favorite husband enjoys this, but I want someone to thank me - even if it is not a sincere response.
Troubling...
