... I'm trying, day and night do not ever rest my limbs, I'm trying to find the "book books ", the total book that collects all of this building the other infinite, but can not find it, at least until now my search is proving futile, but I opened it, peeled, read hundreds of books, thousands of words or nonsense; letters that followed one another without any logical order, full pages of items, some of commas ... Brancolo sun still in the dark .... "
The Library of Babel: romance, yes, but with aspects of reality. For Borges, the library is a place where they are enclosed in hexagonal rooms all possible books of 410 pages in an "orderly chaos. Fantastic story yes, but philosophically important: the eternal return. In its infinity, the library always has a return to the origin. The books are stored in this library of 410 pages with a finite sequence of characters. In the books there is a constant repetition. The eternal return is a closed loop in which the universe is reborn according to the cycles of time and repeats eternally its course, while remaining himself. Nietzsche before Borges: "[...] in a finite system with an infinite time, any combination can be repeated many times [...]"
This library, then, may not have counterparts in Reality: repetition, lies and truth are together, there is no uniformity in the bottom, then the books have no valid information.
And instead, there is the Library of Babel: a database in which all knowledge is contained and explained. Internet, the greatest means of mass communication, easy to use. All you need is a computer and a network to navigate in this sea world without leaving their desk. The links are based on statistical criteria of availability and not on those criteria so as to be completely deterministic often considered to be more chaotic, on the other hand, processes are distributed rather than centralized. Many nodes are connected together in different ways and through different path . This type of connection can be understood in light of the reasons that in sixties dictated the birth of the Internet (then called ARPANET ): create a network of decentralized computers that could withstand a nuclear attack on the part of ' Soviet Union . A decentralized network that would survive many attacks since the structure of communication is organized at different levels According to this structure, TCP occupies the upper level than IP. Above and below these two protocols will work for others, and others are placed at their own level.
Richard Matthew Stallman gives a meaningful definition of the World Wide Web: " The World Wide Web has the potential to develop into a ' encyclopedia universal covering all fields of knowledge and a comprehensive library of courses for the training. " And the main point is this, the World Wide Web is like a veritable encyclopaedia of public access that resides in a large library that is the internet. A library is easy to move when ordered to find what is most useful to our lives. From culture to fun at one time click: every word is found, any field of knowledge is discussed and explained, there is no danger of getting lost in this sea, and the navigator, a novel Ulysses, also can travel to faraway places , visit ancient sites and then return. The developing world is in the hands of a computer network that allows us to do incredible things and wonder if Borges would have enjoyed surfing the Internet, or if you would feel a sense of anguish to browse this Book sand with incalculable number of pages, where it is not easy to find neither the first nor the last ...
