-How does the situation today compare with what happened at the library of Alexandria?

It is commonly agreed that the destruction of the ancient Library of Alexandria in Egypt was one of the most devastating losses of knowledge in all of civilization.

-Give a summary of the article and your own feelings as to whether the American government should invest money in this project.

To begin, my feelings on this article is that the governemt should not invest money on this project, instead of wasting money on technology the government shoud use money for more "universal" problems. For example, global warming, the homeless, or children that go to bed hungry. Those are things that money should be spent on, in my opinion.

Honestly, I think that if people wanted there internet websites to be looked at in the future for information to be used in something like a biography then they would have saved it. But obiously if they made a new one and deleated that information they dont want it being used anymore. It is none of the governments, let alone anyones business what people deleate from the internet if they published it. Minds do change.
