Google Print is finally here. This convergence of digital and print technologies truly heralds the 21st century of human civilization - albeit on a search and discovery mode only. Finding books is supposed to be easy, it seems.
Gosh, I wonder why Amazon did not do this. Copyright infringement issues and nervousnous from some prominent publishers still lingers, but history have shown that the technology tide will ensure that this will come to pass.
But to succeed, Google must be relentless in its pursuit to conquer the print world. Google Print must reach the tipping point where both producers and consumers are willing to play. Google has only started the first step to ignite this virtuous cycle. Great revolutionary technologies of recent times have utilized the wisdom of crowds. Obviously this is what Google is banking for.
If the technology world is going to excite me everyday like this, I don't think my heart can take the adrenaline rush any further. I will just die with excitement.
