Library in a Nutshell

When you look at something like this (a 1965 miniature library), you get a sense of how far technology has gone (and might still go). I routinely carry around several hundred books and stories with me on a storage card the fraction of the size of this gadet.

Why stop at some books? Why not the universe in a library? Addendum (September 10, 2007): Via BoingBoing, a paper that examines the information policy for the universe-sized library.
