Library

“The Library of Babel” talks much about the Hexagonal infinite library which never ends, and compares it to the universe.  There are five shelves of each of the hexagonal walls “each shelf contains thirty-five books of uniform format; each book is of four hundred and ten pages; each page, of forty lines, each line, of some eighty letters which are black in color.” (Borges) Borges does a creative job in the way he describes the word “infinite” in relation to the library.  He said those who judge it to be” limited postulate that in remote places the corridors and stairways and hexagons can conceivably come to an end — which is absurd. Those who imagine it to be without limit forget that the possible number of books does have such a limit. I venture to suggest this solution to the ancient problem: The Library is unlimited and cyclical.” (Borges)  The word infinite can also be in deep relation to the internet and multimedia writing.  The world of social media and the world of the internet.  There is no telling in what is next in multimedia writing, which leaves so many doors open to infinite possibilities.  Libraries have gone so far beyond text now as well, every library has computers now to, text has been open to so much more then paper.
