She noted that so many things we take for granted were first though of by science fiction writers. Because of this, she thought strongly about writing science fiction to introduce gadgets that she would like someone to someday invent. Taking this though, and adding it to your post, it came to me that you and your peers are in an interesting situation. You have it within you to shape the future of libraries, bookstores, and shared media simply by advocating your positions on how you would like to see them evolve in the future.
