The Library of Babel provides an interesting conundrum of the total representation of the world’s information. Given the capacity of Digital technology, we are able to archive a vast array of information. But the problem then in lies the ability to acquire and process this information from a human standpoint. This is invariably the conundrum for the librarians of Babel. We have reached a point that the world’s information has exceeded our ability to comprehend all of it. A possible problem also arises if some information may be lost in the expanses of history. The ability for research archival must be taken into account. This goes into a greater philosophical conundrum in with given our finite lives, what good can all this information do. In the library, there is no ability to act upon the information that it contains. This reminds me of the self-learned man in Sarte’s Nausea and the quote that questions what he could do after he has finished his reading. The library is very much the way the internet is organized; but there is a greater sense of organization. However there still is the plethora of information that has yet to be transcended which in and of itself will take many years to preserve. As such we will continue to amass a wealth of information that we are progressively being unable to completely asertain. Perhaps it can be preserved for posterity so maybe as we evolve into a transcendent form of an all knowing being could we make the most of it. In the end we must ask, what do we do with all this information?
