Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

Library vs Internet
When it comes to research I normally use the internet. However, when I am begining my search I normally browse through the journals in the basement of the library. Several times I have found interesting articles which lead me in the the direction I want to take with my paper. I agree with Dreyfus when he talks about the use of a library because I can find exactly what I am looking for. Using the internet I do not know if the sites I am using are reliable and if I am looking up the correct information. I type in a key word to be search and I receive several topics concerning the key word and I spend my time looking at different web sites. Where as in the library I can pick up a journal or a book that is directly about the subject I am looking for. Because the internet has so many searches I am unsure of what is relavent and what isn't. Many of websites with the accurate information, I need to pay to recieve the information I need to write a good research paper. Books are free and can be easily checked out of the library. I think education would be less affective if we were to get rid of books and only have the internet.
