This morning's Los Angeles Times (Feb. 1) has an interesting article on books (that is, paper books) written by several wunderkind who crashed and burned in the Great Dot.com Collapse. J. David Kuo, author of "Dot.Bomb," writes with newly found insight that, "Even in a digital age, paper matters." The article later, and ironically, relates that the Dot.com episode may never be completely told since much of the documentation was digitized and has since gone "poof!" in cyberspace. Christine Frey, the author of the Times article ("Closing the Books on Dot-Coms"), wrote that it is easier to write about the history of film in the first part of the 20th century than it is about the Web today. My conclusion is that both the printed book and digitized information have their proper places in the world. Neither one will replace the other. By the way, don't bother asking me for a Web site to access this article, since I read it on PAPER! Carl Martz Past Pres. Calif. School Lib.
