We have all heard a lot on the news recently about books being made digital for all to read. Microsoft is doing a 20-million dollar project in Great Britain and Google is doing several libraries in the United States. There has been some controversy on this issue from authors who receive royalties and booksellers. It is for this reason our Think Tank brought up the topic.

A prominent member in our Think Tank “Swift” said; “I was looking into your idea of the digital library and Goggle’s attempt at putting all existing books on the Internet. I really like this idea as only a small percentage of books remain in print. I have been looking for an out of print book for decades called the Rose and the Labyrinth and have had book searches done all over the world. I have found out that there were 5 books with this title. The one I am looking for dealt with the time Carl Jung spent with minors and his reactions to them. He didn’t write it, but I no longer have the information on the book so don’t remember who the writer is. There are some really wonderful out of print books and no way to access them. I am having problems with the publishing companies who are worried about the copyright infringement issues and the interpretation of “fair use.”

They wouldn’t start with the newest books, I would think; but the books that were no longer protected. What in the heck are they being protected from? No one is going to pretend they wrote them for crying out loud. After this length of time, I’ll read any book names the Rose and the Labyrinth and pretend it was the book that was referred to me by Jung’s last student before he died. I really like the idea of a mine being a labyrinth–so did my father.

Well I certainly see Swift’s point on this issue and we know that currently we are very busy digitizing humankind’s written knowledge from books to the digital so it can be made available to the world. This is a very wise move as books can decay over years and out of print books are not available to all. By digitizing the known human written knowledge to the world we can conquer the opportunity barriers of those hard chargers who may not have the resources to achieve the upward mobility they seek. As we conquer the digital divide we will be well on our way to giving back the knowledge of the world from the entire Library of Commerce to the human race in an easy to read, search and retrieve format available to all. That will be an excellent day for the human race indeed. Imagine a digital library of the Library of Commerce able to use Super Computer speeds to retrieve all the world’s written books online at a speed of Google or MSN.com. That is to say any book written in any language, anywhere in the world, at anytime, think on that for a second.

By using knowledge and experience this way we can leverage this to prevent failure through understanding results. Those who do not learn from their mistakes, tend to keep from making them. Those who remember the lessons learned from their mistakes successes tend to reason better thru analyzing of their mistakes and trying to figure a way around their problems.

Now then, let me tell you why I believe a society needs digital libraries hooked to all civilizations for faster advancement of the human species as a whole or as one. If you had a problem that needed solving for the betterment of your civilization and you had all the world’s knowledge at your finger tips; that is to say a computer hooked to a system like a World Wide Digital Library, then you would have enhanced your personal knowledge and memory by a million fold. This could help your intelligent quotient at the speed of computer and that coupled with the speed of thought is a major component needed to take mankind to the singularity of an all-knowing, never ending being in this dimension. Think on this.

Currently in the battlespace we have all types of sensors available to the war fighters of today. They have infrared devices to see heat and can tell if it is human body heat or another animal. They have night vision capable of seeing in fog, pitch-black dead of night or even through enemy smoke screens.

Our Navy has radar and sonar and our Army has infrared and lidar. Total situational awareness is not only a buzz word of the future fighting force it is a reality and a must have to stay alive in the most hostile place on Earth; the modern battlespace, where life expectancies during a battle can be as short as 1 minute. The Iraq war has taught us some interesting lessons in the way of roadside bombs to take out our soldiers and their vehicles. But these roadside bombs need not kill our soldiers, as there is a way to defend against them. How so you ask?

By using special equipment, which sends waves into the Earth below we can sense anomalies in the electromagnetic signatures and detect things which are not dirt or rock. Those things, which are not stone, dirt or rocks will have a different magnetic resonance and be immediately suspect. In the future we will also see tunneling robots, which are used to attack the enemy by going underground to their location and simply breaking ground and then either exploding or seeking out their prey once inside the gates. Think on this in 2006.

As the paradigm of war and human conflict changes in the new modern battlespace, we will have to deal with more than just soldiers, tanks and aircraft from our enemy. There are also issues with chemicals being used in war and although we have not seen chemicals be used to this degree for almost 100 years, you can expect that the Middle Eastern civilizations will indeed use chemical warfare as an offensive and a defensive weapon of war.

Once the chemicals are dispersed they must be cleaned up and any left is a potential hazard for our soldiers and our team. Cleaning chemicals in the battlespace is not an easy proposition, but it is very serious and must be done absolutely correctly to the letter of protocol. Just because you are wearing chemical suits does not mean you are safe. Eventually got chemical suit will come off, yet those chemicals may be all over equipment and the weapons you will be using.

Additionally if you have set up a base camp all the tents, ground and groundwater now has deadly chemicals on it. More research must be done into the abatement of tactical active chemicals in the modern battlespace. Otherwise, you will have a huge problem with all of your personnel, as you seek to find and engage to the enemy.

Chemicals in the battle space are deadly and we need to figure out a way to abate these chemicals and perhaps consider using them on our enemy to slow them down or kill them before they kill us. Consider this in 2006.
