Hi,
If you live in internet world, you must have heard this joke about Jesus saves.
Yesterday, one of my friends showed me a huge library of e-books that he has kept for some day. There were over 1000 books amounting just about 4GB. He has just kept it with the intent of reading them some day. But, almost everyone knows that "that day" will never come ;-)
A question popped into my mind that how many copies of an e-book would be lying on different websites, people's desktops/laptops, pen drives or CDs..with each copy waiting for that double-click to happen so that a pair of eyes would read, even if vertical, through it. I remember the days in my school when we used to have floppies and we gave a hard though that which game do we want to copy on it.
Over time, storage has become so cheap. We keep a copy on laptop. Another copy on CD so just in case laptop crashed and never recovers. It's not done yet. Some would keep another copy of online storage drive for that special reason - *just in case*. This is true for almost everything...emails, photos, videos, almost everything most of which we wont see again but *just in case*.
World really changes fast.
