5.2 Read the text carefully and find the information about diverse access
to documents

The link between information and computer technology has resulted in changes that until a few years ago were restricted to science fiction. Physical access to documents is no longer so important: on-line services, databases on CD-ROM, the Internet, all make access possible to diverse sources of information. If the system allows downloading, if the research results can be printed, how much does access cost, if it is to a public source.. Reading is no longer the only form of access. Now the user has the option to format: brochures, CD-ROMs, videos, audio-books, etc.

Technological advance provoked an earthquake in the area of information, breaking barriers. The Global Village is a reality, changing people's daily routines, habits and customs. It is no longer necessary to go to Washington to consult the catalogue of the Library of Congress to conduct bibliographical research: its electronic address is the Open Sesame for researchers and scholars.

5.2.1 What do you think?

1 Is the link between information and computer technology still science fiction?

2 Why is physical access to documents no longer so important?

3 Why is not reading the only form of access now?

4 Why did technological advance provoke an earthquake in the area of
information?
