| (AP) In the most remarkable
compilation of human knowledge ever recorded, a human knowledge electronic
archive and the 1st Collective Though Recording Device was buried today
next to the newly completed New York City Universal Trade Center Buildings.
The human archive utilized the efforts of several thousand national
researchers and librarians to generate electronic textual copies of every
known human text. With one click of a button, an individual has accesss
to any book, magazine, journal, newspaper, poster, comic strip, movie,
television show, radio show, internet site or recorded or written text
in the history of the world. The idea behind the project originated during
a graduate course in "new literacies" at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign in the fall of 2001 and expanded to include more than
243,600 researchers in 180 countries.
In addition to the human archive, the first ever collective thought
recording device created by Bruce Chip at his NCSA lab in 2010 was also
buried next to the new universal trade centers in New York, NY. The device
creates a compilation of every human thought during a two hour experiential
event. The XXCT device buried next to the new Universal Trade Center Buildings
had been used to record the thoughts of every human being during the dedicatoin
of these same two buildings one month ago today.
Since the development of the XXCT device, sales of traditional books
and electronic texts have dropped from a $556 billion a year industry to
a projected $12 million a year industry. Meanwhile, the demand for XXCT
devices has increased the retail price to over $340 per unit.
United States President Kelly O'Malley stated last week that "the XXCT
will increase the amount of public information like no other period in
the world's history".
