Is the Digital Library replacing the Traditional Library?

The question on everyone mind who is in the Library and information Science is, "Is the Digital Library going to take over the Traditional Library system" In my view it will take a long time to reach that stage as there is still quite a huge number of publications that are in print form which need to be digitised inorder for them to be available in electronic form. The costs in hardware and software is also a limiting factor torwards turning the traditional library in to an electronic library.

Your observation on the state of development in the three countries that you have visited should be backed by some statistical information such as GNP or GDP in order to justify your observation.

Is there something different about African Countries?

I have visited  only three African Countries and this includes my country of birth Zimbabwe, the country that I am currently residing, South Africa and the country I have recently visited,  Botswana.  Of these three countries I can rank South Africa much higher in terms of infrastracture, lifestyle but this highly depends on the area where you are residing. In terms of food, friendliness and humbleness of the people, I would say Botswana an Zimbabwe are almost at par.
