- www.ted.com Brewster Kahle is building a truly huge digital library -- every book ever published, every movie ever released, all the strata of web history ... It's all free to the public -- unless someone else gets to it first.

I agree with this guy, sometimes people do not go to the books because it is not free, or because it is not in hand. This is great.
Thank you to Brewster Kahle and others for making the Internet Archive 🙏❤️🥰🍀
That's what I call freedom of information.
Thank You Brewster Kahle
Incredible vision!
My Hero!
I think this is a good idea.
Some books might have historic value that will not be understood until later. It's going to be a small cost on the long run to do this anyways.
Though of course for non-historian, I'm betting web-based encyclopedias similar to wikipedia will be more practical.
The best idea to hit the planet since Alexander did it. Big time Kudos Brewster!!! I hope it happens. I'll be checking this out further.
Great stuff. Thanks.
Right, the thing is:
Using the old Copyight System with our current technology is like using the rules made to regulate Carriage traffic and aply them to modern Road transport.
Does Not Compute
"In fact the old Soviets had a pastepot squad that continuously revised the Soviet Encyclopedia"
All Encyclopaedias are continuously revised. it is called keeping them up to date. Or is the use of a "pastepot" the problem here?
Digitizing books makes them accessible to more people. This is a good thing. Also digitized books means that they can be read by a computer making them accessible to even more people. Then of course there is the possibility of using meta data.
Awesome!
16:45. YES John Stewart.
Um...the Library of Alexandria was *in* Alexandria, Egypt.
This guy is onto something...
60 000 dollars for 26 terabytes, that's how old this is lol. (You can get 32TB from amazon in 2 HDDs for about 700$)
right there are already tons and tons of books on the web free for all though the ones still under copywrite may require some piracy. I do kind of like the print on demand idea though except it seems it would lead to the death of the small bookstore. I'm picturing this just ending up being another section of walmart.
Nice vision should it succeed. Copy right and financial issues are the main ones to sort out, in my opinion. Technology is and will be there, and so will the demand.
As a consumer you can access it by going to his organisation's website at the adress "archive(dot)org"
He's talking about webspace.
Webspace = Cost Money
If you put up your garage band online, and it gets popular (..Heavy Internet Traffic) You need more bandwidth, more space = which costs money. He's just saying if you need money, you'll have to sell your instruments (ie: loose your guitars or house).
I'm pretty sure he means all COLLECTED knowledge.
internet archive is full of these
What about copyright issues? On theory everything is possible yet the greed publishing industry is suffocating ditizition of anything after 1927...
+50sorrowC I think he says they are copying all of their out of copyright books, so the copyright is out of date and no longer valid.
copyright laws should not exist anymore in 2019
in the beginning of the video he said that he is a librarian.
Arey tyo keti pindesori chowk ko mala haina... ka bata model bhayecha....
mopsius He invented Wide Area Information Servers amongst other things, and came up with the free archive of which he is the Director.
Your comment is not sensible.
irelandauctionhouse - Cad e mar ata tu. Perhaps you should read the novels of Edgar Thelapain, they hold great portentions therein. Where do you see them to fall?
good cause Brewster, good luck :)
And I could be writing this message to you from the moon.
Thank you very much.
you definitely did. it takes many decades for copyright to expire..
Um, what's the difference between this and just making cheaper pcs and using torrents and direct downloads?
Well, how about: Nuclear Waste + Plastic
(Oh wait, let me guess, they only used biodegradebal materials and Solar Energy at Atlantis, right?)
[Just kidding, I know(/hope) you didnt mean what you wrote there]
On a sidenote, forget those cute NDs, one nearby sun goes nova and there wont be anyone left to see the lack of artifacts.
We realy need to get one of these databases into intergalactic space.
Just to make sure. ^^
2 million of those 100 dollar laptops sold to date. It's alright, but depressing cause the aim was to get it to about 100 million by now I think.
Do users used the password to use the digital library
I love the idea of universal free access to a library for anyone anywhere in the world. In 2022 there are still several rivaling ebook formats, but it seems that epub might become the standard which makes sideloading ebooks into ereaders regardless of brand more convenient. As much as I love physical copies of books - which are future proof as long as they're not accidentally soaked or burnt or vandalized on purpose because all you need is ink, glue and paper - an ereader allows me to put my entire library into a device that weighs less than 300 grams (or 10 oz.). Given the recent instances of banning books in GOP-controlled areas of the US because it makes them uncomfortable raises my hackles. Nobody is forcing you or your kids to read the books. Walk on by, Karen and Chad.
now, dream become reality. thank you
where is the shame in learning from what is around us...books...bookish wisdom is important but so is experience...there is no knowledge more whole than experiential knowledge -understanding and acting according to ones own context is absolutely vital.
but of course life is about balance. some people should be reading more, some less...
Is there website of is library ? What is it?

Brewster's warning about google becoming a monopoly information source.
What is the status of this project?
Sounds like an interesting idea. Books should be digitalized for easier access, but the written book should not be phased out. The most realistic of the ideas presented are the book mobiles
Have you ever heard of the internet?
There's a whole lot of useless junk there... In fact, I would say that you can find pretty muc anything on the internet. But it turns out to be perfectly useable.
If you want something specific you can usually find it (google ftw) and you also have plenty of ways of seperating the cream from the turds. For example bookmarking sites like digg or google's link=vote pagerank system.
Preserving all work in a DIGITAL fashion would work perfectly.
and so..?
No more secrets.
ya since after we copy the books WE BURN THEM!!!!!!!!!
yay first comment!
