Digitizing every single book is a very interesting concept. Just imagining how long it would take to digitize all the books ever made is really amazing. I think that having every single book online would be much easier for me to locate key ideas in the book. I also wouldn’t need to go down to the library and waste about 20 minutes just getting the book when i can take 5 minutes to find the book online and get all the necessary information I needed from the book in the first place. Of course, doing this would hurt our privacy. If you go to a library, your privacy is ensured. Online, however, it is a different story. Personally I think it is a great idea to have books online for easy access, but at the same time, I feel a bit uncomfortable with it as well.
