This Could Be the Eighth Wonder Of The
World
What is conceivably a greater
achievement for humanity, a mission to Mars or a digital world library?
From The Theoretical To The Practical
Theoretically, we would need
only one library to store digital copies of all written works ever published on
this planet.
In the near future, most
public libraries could be closed once this kind of digital library exists.
Preferably, it should be a private enterprise.
Any Publication, Any Time, Anywhere, By
Anyone
With ubiquitous Internet
access, any human being could read any book or other written artifact ever
published from home or portable computer only limited by, e.g., language
barriers.
A Boost To Scientific Research
Literary research would be
possible at an unprecedented scale. Scientific research across disciplines,
time etc. would be possible by scientists as well as lay people.
Software could summarize,
translate, juxtapose, index, and so on every written piece of work.
