题目：Contain public libraries is a waste of money, because computer technology is already replaced its function. Do you agree or disagree?

The computer technology has no doubt at all replaced most of function, that is, we can read books from the academic database. newspapers and publishes from almost everywhere, this means that we do not need many hard copies and environment friendly for the earth. However I am not so much convinced that public libraries can replace other functions that we need other than providing information or books.

The important issue we need to recognize is that there are not many population who can use computer to serve their needs, and even may not afford to own a computer. Some of them are using the public libraries for reading the large print books. others are coming to relax for reading magazines with friends. and the others may just come for a cool spot in a hot summer.
