Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device, trade-named: BOOK. BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use, even a child can operate it. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere-even sitting in an armchair by the fire -- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disc. Here's how it works: BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. The pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a binder which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence. Opaque Paper Technology (OPT) allows manufacturers to use both sides of the sheet, doubling the information density and cutting costs. Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. BOOK may be taken up at any time and used merely by opening it. BOOK never crashes or requires re-booting. The "browse" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward or backward as you wish. Many come with an "index" feature, which pin-points the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval. An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open BOOK to the exact place you left it in a previous session - even if the BOOK has been closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards; thus a single BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by various manufacturers. Conversely, numerous BOOKmarkers can be used in a single BOOK if the user wants to store numerous views at once. The number is limited only by the number of pages in the BOOK. You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text entries with an operational programming tool, the Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus (PENCILS). Portable, durable, and affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a precursor of a new entertainment wave. Also, BOOK's appeal seems so certain that thousands of content creators have committed to the platform and investors are reportedly flocking. Look for a flood of new titles soon. Sep 16 2002
...man, that's groovy. I like it. ;8^) Unfortunately, I cannot even gain access to BOOK right now. Each time I try to retrieve one for myself, access is denied for lack of an important driver called MONEY. I'm informed that as of now I have a virus especially made to effect BOOK by blocking MONEY's access called the Person Out Of Resources virus. Hey, what can I do? I gotta find a means to get rid of it in order to enjoy the unique and valuable qualities of BOOK. Hey, any donations are welcome. Me Sep 16 2002
that is a nice one ! you can add that resolution and contrast of book are VERY hight. and did you notice that humain instinctly use dichotomy search algorithm with books ? first open it at the middle, see if it is too far or not and, retry and so on. roland bw a écrit :Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device, trade-named: BOOK.
