Ämne: [TN] Bio-Optic Organised Knowledge device

 
This just came to my attention and thought it worth sharing 
 
Cheers,
Joe
 


> Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organised 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 is 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.
> 
> Experts are divided on  the prospects for further increases in information

density; for now, BOOKS with  more information simply use more pages. 
> 
> 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 rebooting, though like other display 
devices it can become unusable if  dropped overboard. 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 pinpoints 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  BOOK markers can be
used 
in a single BOOK, if the user wants to store numerous  views at once. The 
number is only limited by the number of sheets in the  BOOK.
> 
> Personal notes next to BOOK text entries can be made with  an optional 
programming tool, the Portable Erasible Nib Cryptic  Intercommunication
Language 
Stylus (PENCILS).
> 
> Portable,  durable, affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a precursor of a 
new entertainment  wave.
> 
> BOOKs appeal seems so certain that thousands of content  creators have 
committed to the platform and investors are reportedly flocking to  invest.
Look 
for a flood of new titles soon.
