''Digitize Every Book Ever Printed

''Digitize Every Book Ever Printed “I like the idea of using books over the Internet, because it makes your life easier, you don't have to hold those heavy books, and you save the environment, you can read books online without the hustle, there are a lot of people who can't go and search for books in the library and bookstores. The benefit of using books online is that it’s FREE!!! You can copy, print and do anything you want with it, and second, it’s not boring when you read books online.

Weaving The Web

I think Tim Berners Lee is a genius, he created the World Wide Web that we use today, and he must have studied his whole life. He wrote a book called Weaving The Web, this book is written to address the questions most people ask From "What were you thinking when you invented it?" through "So what do you think of it now?" to "Where is this all going to take us?" This days it’s hard to live without computers, because computers do amazing things that human can't do, like sending messages in seconds, Google different places, online shopping and many things that we do in a daily bases. Computers help us through everything; there is nothing you can't find in the Internet. I believe is the future there is going to be a lot more improvement to the internet
