A cheapjack hand-mirror might not have enough capacity for an up-to date reference book, whereas a top of the range wall mirror can not only do that, but also access the Glassware Exchange Network that does nothing but track basic information about the owners of mirrors near them. The reference books would simply contain lists of questions that the mirrors would need to follow in order to pin down a specific book, just like phone books contain numbers that uniquely identify phones. | |

If Bill wants to talk to Jeb he will probably not say "l want to talk to the person called Jeb K., who lives down the street on the right side seen from this place, and has a blue painted grandfather-clock visible from his mirror (unlike the other Jeb)" Bill much rather wants to say "Call Jeb, my friend". The mirror would look if there is a Jeb in the mirror-book and call him. If the mirror Bill tried is currently not available he can still play the question-answer-game to find Jeb. | |
