It seems to me that with the development of technology comes the increase of database usage. Most respectable companies count on a database and web-page for their marketing, financial, and all other business needs. Now, will the time come when all of us (in a future not too far from now) laugh at the original occult/esoteric books that gave us life...like we all laugh at eight-tracks while fiddling around with our mp3 players? Will that dreaded time come when we depend on algoriths instead of flipping coins and listening to the whispers of the winds against our ears? Is it around the corner? I understand that perhaps I need to know...just need to know...perhaps the day will come when I need to know...something...and I will find myself in front of a cyber-cafe and across the street will be a book store. What to do? Should I go for the I Ching online or should I get a hold of an original book? Would you, my revered brothers and sisters...say a these readings are the same...enough to base my heart upon them?
