The Library of the Future
PYP Class 6 (2) Liang Qitong
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
It is 2025, an era of high technology.
After eating a delicious and nutritious breakfast, I walked into the "Time and Space Converter" and soon arrived at the library. This is a large library with more than 200 million books. However, what surprises you is that what comes into your view is not the tall bookshelf, the huge library, nor the busy librarian. On the contrary, it feels like a relaxing place. In the spacious hall, there are only rows of comfortable seats, surrounded by green trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant, the environment is beautiful and peaceful.
You will definitely ask: "Are you wrong? Is this a library?"
Don't worry, just follow me in and you will understand in a moment.
I walked into the library and found a seat to sit down. As soon as I sat down, a small screen automatically appeared on the table with a dialog box on it. I entered the book I wanted to read - "Red Rock", and the novel immediately appeared on the screen. What's even more interesting is that the screen also provides an introduction to the author, story background, audio readings, related poems, movies adapted from the novel, etc... The content is really rich.
On this day, I wanted to give my eyes a rest, so I chose the "audio reading" button. With a light press, a lifelike reading came from the headphones, and I was quickly immersed in it. In the story.
After a while, I am leaving the library, but I haven’t finished listening to the story yet. What should I do? Don't worry, that's no problem - I rented a "book reader" from the library management office. As soon as it was connected to the computer, all the contents of "Red Rock" were downloaded, and I could take the book with me. Whenever you want to watch or listen, just take it out of your bag. This movable "book reader" is small in size, very easy to carry, and has an amazingly large capacity. A "book reader" can store more than 2,000 books and materials, which is equivalent to carrying a small library.
Libraries in the future will also have a very special "interactive function", which means that you can write down your thoughts at any time during the reading process and then upload them through the reading platform. In just a short time, people all over the world who read this book can have online discussions with you and exchange reading experiences. How wonderful is this!
The library of the future is actually a library without books. All its text, images, sounds and other information are stored in electronic computers, and the cost is cheaper than traditional bookshelf collection!

Future Online Library
Li Min
Due to the continuous application of new technologies, network skills have become more powerful, and online libraries will be more common in the future. Developed electronic network libraries can This enables you to get the information you need in a timely manner, invest efficiently, and provide you with better personal management skills.
The focus of WAN network libraries is on the Internet, and a large number of applications make network libraries the most promising future technology market. Using optical fiber to connect devices more than 600 kilometers away in the network library, the bandwidth can reach 2GB, and can reach 10GB in the future. 70% of university libraries and public libraries in the United States plan to start using this new technology by the end of 2000. The year 2000 was the year when DSL (Digital Subscription Line) technology became rapidly popularized. 2001 and 2002 were the prosperous times for the construction of fixed wireless base stations. It uses microwaves to transmit data at high speed over long distances, and can also be connected to optical fiber and cable TV networks, allowing rural and sparsely populated areas to connect to online libraries as easily as cities. The mobile wireless market will rise rapidly. Starting from 2000, browser-based telephone equipment will gradually become mainstream. By 2002, telephone, fax, and browser equipment connected to the Internet will become essential communication tools for people. You can use mobile communication tools to connect to the library to access books and information in the car or in the bathroom.
Today's Web is just a beautiful mute woman. Even with the addition of graphics, audio, animation and other technologies, it is still too far away from us, giving people an inhumane feeling. Future Web sites will enhance communication with users. It not only knows what users think, but also what other sites have. In the future, Web sites can track your browsing history to automatically generate your favorite interface without your intervention. Collaborative filtering technology makes Web sites more personal for you. Direct click technology brings different results to the search. When you view a search result, the sites with the most visits by readers will appear in front of you first.
With the emergence of XML, online library sites not only give you the information you need, but also enable you to understand the content of other library sites at the same time. XML can describe data. It provides precise search capabilities and allows other network library sites to efficiently share data. XML is currently widely used in finance, vector graphics and multimedia industries.
IBM has developed a technology called QBIC (Graphic Content Retrieval), which provides a search function by establishing an attribute database for graphics. It can accurately locate video information on the Internet and automatically collect it without downloading all the information. Come down. It establishes interconnected information between humans and machines, just like the way the human brain works. When you combine all these new features, including personalization, new search technology, new Web navigation technology, etc. - we will find that we are under a completely new network library.
The future online library is a comprehensive virtual space that gathers global electronic books, newspapers, information, multimedia movies and television, leisure entertainment and e-commerce.

Peng Sihan, Class 3, fifth grade, Pixian Experimental School, today happens to be a sunny Sunday, and I am sitting in a super multifunctional I was reading the newspaper leisurely on the chair when I heard a series of harsh ringing sounds coming from downstairs. I guessed that it must be those troublemakers who wanted to ask me for a new invention to play a prank, so I pressed the button. There was a "bang" on the newly invented "trick machine". I looked at the monitor and saw that the people standing outside were not the troublemakers. It’s my friend Xiao A who I haven’t seen for many years. After we graduated, he went directly to find a job related to time and space research, and moved to the “Planet 235” he had longed for, where he was with me. The "virtual planet" where we work is hundreds of millions of light years away. Even if we use the fastest hyperspace jump in the world, it will take two or three days to communicate online, but before the message can travel even one light year. It was almost completely weakened and could not be teleported at all.
Under such circumstances, how could he come all the way?
I asked the robot to open the door, and I saw little A standing in front of me with cake all over his face. I almost fell off the chair with laughter. I was smiling when Little A came in. I thought he would scold me. But instead of being angry, he immediately picked up my computer and entered a computer program numbered "0213666". Immediately in front of us appeared a towering building, surrounded by gold and jade. I looked up and saw a big plaque in the middle of the building, which said "The World's Top Library". Having loved reading since I was a child, I pulled Little A and ran inside. Little A couldn't let go of my hand. There was nothing I could do. , had no choice but to follow me into the gate.
As soon as we entered, a waitress came over and said to us: "Welcome! My name is Lisa, and I am your guide." I was about to speak when I saw Little A I took out a certificate. After reading it, the waitress took a pen and wrote a few words and said to us: "Please come in, we will activate the fully automatic service for you. I wish you a happy day!" After that, he disappeared. It was so confusing that I was confused. I immediately asked: "Why can you pass the fully automatic service so easily?" Little A smiled and said: "That's because we are in hyperspace here. It was built, so we have the power to modify everything here and enable all services." I nodded after listening to his words and asked him to take me for a walk.
We first came to the second floor, and saw thousands of monitors lined up in front of us, with a small keyboard underneath each monitor. I walked over very curiously and saw only a few buttons on the small keyboard, with the letters A, B, C, and D written on them. I pressed "A" and saw a table immediately appear on the display screen, which marked the publisher, pricing and other information of a set of books. I couldn't wait to press "B", and the screen turned golden yellow, and it said "Thank you for your purchase, we have delivered it to your home!" I was shocked when I saw it, what should I do? At this time, I saw Little A coming over and said to me: "It doesn't matter. You can get the book back at home and take a photo of it on the monitor. The book will disappear." After hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. Browsed.
Time flies, and it’s night in a blink of an eye. Little A and I reluctantly left the library. When we went back, I thought, although this is just a relatively advanced library. But this is a microcosm of the scientific progress of our world. I believe that with our unremitting efforts, the world will become a better place.
