Total Recall: How the E-Memory Revolution will Change Everything

Their book is ironically not released in Ebook form... Only paper.

One problem with this technology is that our human memories will diminish as our ememories become more usable. The human memory needs challenges or it will atrophy.

It's hard to be lectured by a David Arquette character. :)

you know.

And you have forgotten that both our nations have developed and deployed E-weapons still targeted at each other. A single exchange of salvos of such weapons will wipe out Total Recall. We Russians are especially wary of EMP vulnerable stuff like computers and their counterparts which is why we prefer ink on paper, though we use computers.

[darthvader5300]

Especially the ones you should have asked for but did not asked and thus makes you aware of other things whether you have asked for them or not. And shows other titles whether you are interested or not. A computer cannot do these things.

[darthvader5300]

A computer will only give you the right answers when you ask the right questions because you know it because someone told you about it or came through it while surfing the internet, etc. A traditional printed book library shows both all the right answers to all the right questions.

[darthvader5300]

As an honest Russian I must say that you Americans have totally forgotten several things. One, "Digital Dark Age", chips and hard drives and memory electronics do not last as long as paper. Two, digital data retention of electronic components is still open to question. Three, computers will never solve the chicken and egg principle, which comes first but print shows both at the same time whether you ask for it or not, especially the ones that you should ask but did not.

Nice. I'm in the more-info-is-good camp. I just wish this was available for the rest of us. Even as a kit or code library would be nice.
