The subject of transparent vs. opaque technology was very interesting to me because I found it truly fascinating the way technology has integrated itself into human's lives closely. Transparent technology is very amazing because it demonstrates how humans have lived with certain technology devices for so long that it is difficult to fathom how to live without them. Transparents technology is really unique that people do not notice that without them, they would not actually know the time because watches are transparent and without them that common knowledge wouldn't be available for usage.

The Library of Babel

The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges is a perpetually complex short story about a library that is architectually difficult to imagine. The introduction or first paragraph of the short essay depicts the library as containing a myriad of bookshelves with a spiral staircase in the center of the room. The author of the story points out the notion that the library is "infinite" a couple times in the opening paragragh. In my opinion, I think the author is trying to convey the message that libraries have an "infinite" or continous knowledge base. As more information is discovered or invented, the data is added to the library which can be compared to a human being having the ability to soak up an infinite amount of knowlege. The added information can be described as "infinite" because adding new information is definitely an ongoing process in the world.
