Being a major sporting fanatic, the only thing I could think about when I thought about this mysterious library that held all the answers was: do they they have the answer to who will win the super bowl this year? But then I thought: maybe it is good to not know that answer. Anyway, in today’s world we have the internet, which I feel is the modern parallel to that library in Babel. The internet holds billions and billions of information, and that information can answer almost any type of question. For example, do you want to know how to make a chocolate cake? Just type that into google and instantly dozens of recipes will be at your disposal. However, it is up to you to determine how valid this information might be. The problem with the internet and being able to supply all these answers is that anyone could be the person supplying these answers. I recently watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy (stick with me here I have a point) and this boy had severely broken his finger and would not be able to play hockey that afternoon. Instead of getting surgery he found out, online, how to cut off his finger. Problem was, the online source failed to mention how much of infection he would obtain from sticking his stub back into a bacteria filled glove. Now, the doctor said he would never get the full use of his hand again. In other words, his hockey days were over. The point of this story is that we have to be careful now that we have this type of source at our fingertips. Websites like Wikipedia allow anyone to edit the information within its pages.
