The Feasibility of Information Time Machine
If I were the Secretary and State Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Maryland and were asked to consider implementing information time machine for all the libraries, I would take an uncountable number of days to finish digitizing all the books just in the city of Baltimore, assuming that 450 books are digitized per day. It is not feasible to say that this number of books will be digitized daily and that a certain exact number of time or days can be stated under which this activity would be completed. Working out an online project like this will require an equitable amount of time. Google has done mass digitization of books, and it has not taken any shorter time. Implementing the information time machine in all the libraries in Maryland would not take any short time (Usher, 2014). There are many libraries in this area, and the states of these libraries are different. The implementation of the information time machine will need to come up with different plans and drafts for the different libraries. Time has to be allotted for each library, with an equitable amount of material resources dedicated to complete the time machine implementation at every library. Thus, the job will not be feasibly done in the short span of 450 books a day. Digitizing is a tedious...
For instance, digitizing one book can take ten minutes, meaning that in a day, working on an average of eight hours, one cannot manage to work on 450 books not unless almost everyone is involved in the state.
Some merits will be gained from the implementation of the information time machine at all the libraries in Maryland State. The merits will be felt at the local, state and the federal levels of the government. There will be a mainstreamed line into the collection of the revenues from the public use of the libraries. The information time machine makes it possible to have a planned structure where the users of the library will be able to forward their compensations to the library service department (Usher, 2014). The collection of the revenue will be made easier for most of the libraries, for instance, those that have been using the old system of collection. The information time machine enables the users of the library to have a new phase in their use of the library.
For instance, they will be able to operate online, access the library online, and make requisitions through the system. It would become easy for most of them to access the library and use it the way they rightfully deserve. The information time machine creates diversity with the way in which the library resources…

Alternative Solutions to the Rising Costs of Books The concept books comes into an existence because of the needs to store information and pass the same information to the next generation. Books have been used for several centuries dated back to the time of bronze age. However, books have passed through revolutionary changes starting from when people write on clay to the time when books have been converted into an electronic
However, while the majority of goods will see an increase in demand when prices decrease, the rate at which demand changes of will vary, and some products may see a faster increase than others (Baye, 2007). Additionally, in a few cases a decreasing price may undermine the value of the product, and may result in a decrease in sales, this is known as a Giffen good (Baye, 2007). Elasticity is

Phonograph New technologies often have widespread and disruptive effects on society at large, and the humanities in particular, because new technologies force people to expand the realm of possibility beyond what was previously imaginable. Like the printing press before it, the phonograph fundamentally altered the way humans considered sound, music, speech, and recording by making reproducible and tactile something which was previously singular and ephemeral.
