Re:Gutenberg and www

Dear All,


It is from Licklider's consideration on "Ma-Computer Symbiosis" (1960)
especially on "Memory Hardware Requirements": "books"...

"The first thing to face is that we shall not store all the technical and
scientific papers in computer memory. We may store the parts that can
be summarized most succinctly—the quantitative parts and the reference
citations—but not the whole. Books are among the most beautifully en-
gineered, and human-engineered, components in existence, and they will
continue to be functionally important within the context of man-computer
symbiosis. (Hopefully, the computer will expedite the finding, delivering,
and returning of books.)"

If the books meant by Licklider are records as we find them out now as
paper-printed and electronical ones...?
