Great (if long) piece in the NYT magazine about the implications of a digital universal library... this still seems very sci-fi to me, but the possibilities for reorganizing knowledge are amazing. What if all books were linked together in a web like the internet? I can imagine that it would be incredibly useful, but also a bit overwhelming. Sometimes, as it is, I get sidetracked from a journal article by the footnotes... imagine what would happen if you could link directly to the books/articles/pages that were referenced! Would I ever be able to finish a complete thought?
Repurposing my 15 year old blog, just like we're repurposing that odd pantry ingredient.
