Google’s Goal: digitize every book ever print



This topic is very exciting and reasonable for everyone. We all know that if there is a good side of the topic, there will be a bad side too. First it will help students and teachers a lot. They can find the book really fast and easy and they can find a rare kind of books. This also helps other countries a lot; foreign people don’t have chance to read different and variety of book in their library. But now they got a chance to access those books. The bad side is for authors and copyrighted books. Now Google has to convince and pay authors for their books to be publish in Google. Anyways if this works out this is going to help a lot of teacher and students in whole world.

  1. Hey! I didnt think about it that way... this is very good I agree with you too, this way foreign countries would have acess to these books. Everyone would like to have any easy access if were living in a place were dont have the requiered material available! Great Job!

  2. I understand you points completely and yes, I even agree that this will help out other people from other Countries, but I guess i just like having the actual book with me when i read it. I believe that google means well when trying to help, i just dont want to participate in this like everyone else.

    good points though, i totally see where you're coming from :)

  3. Yes, it does help alot of people that are assigned a book and cannot afford it. But with google's digitize idea it allows them to read freely and doesn't wastes their time finding the book at the store.
