Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device

[Rudi Richardson]

I read this on my uncle' and aunt's blog, and thought it rather funny... this is mostly for the Gen Y'ers and iGen's (those born after 1994), as the Baby Boomers and Gen X'ers are well familiar with this technology :pp

BIO-OPTIC ORGANIZED KNOWLEDGE

Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device, trade-named BOOK.

BOOK is a revolutionary break-through 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.

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 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 needs rebooting—though, like other devices, it can become damaged if coffee is spilled on it and it becomes unusable if dropped too many times on a hard surface. The “browse” feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move backwards and forwards as you wish. Many come with an “index” feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.

You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text entries with optional programming tools, Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Styli (PENCILS).

Yes, it is a wonder if the newer generations can top a good library.

A sign of the times. Many IT job applications make it clear that playing video games is not considered experience.

THAT'S BOGUS MAN!!!

Seriously. I would never had bothered learning hardware if it weren't for the latest version of Flight Simulator. It started with me on a dual floppy Tandy

Hell, I have underpants older than 1994!:huh: Talk about experience!!:S

Your experience with hardware was because you worked with the hardware, not because of the game. The game simply was the incentive to get you to work with the hardware.
