BOOKS ARE DEAD

In years past, global knowledge was captured in books. Educated people with access to a library could tap that knowledge.

Now, global knowledge is mostly captured in the knowledge cloud of cyberspace. Anyone with access to a computer (or, increasingly, other devices) can tap in. The knowledge cloud comprises digital forms of all types of content -- web sites, papers, articles, audio files, video files -- all in formats that are easier to search and access.

The content odd man out is books. By and large the content in books remains trapped in books with little access in cyberspace. Google is trying to access that trove of information with their Google Print initiative. Yahoo and MSN have signed onto a competing open source venture. Because of technical and legal obstacles, both ventures are at least a decade away from offering comprehensive results.

This means that, at least for the time being, books are one of the worst vehicles for global communications. With respect to the global knowledge cloud, books are information prisons. They might be great for credibility or appearance, but in 2007, they are not a good choice for effective communications.

We no longer underline titles of books. Refer to the latest edition of MLA style.

Do your homework yourself.

If you're going to try to get other people to give you answers, at least cover it up a little better.

Are you paying me to do your work? If not then you should probably just do it yourself.
