You might know it as the way back machine but the Internet Archive but Brewster Kahle strives to make it much more than a tool for taking trips down bit-memory lane:
“Folks are using the Internet as a library, and they're using it many times every day,” Kahle continued. “We're seeing much more traffic on the Internet then we ever did in our public library system, but what's available on the Internet isn't the best we have to offer. Almost everything on the Internet has been written since 1996 _ and most of it has been written for the Internet.” Kahle's dream is to collect online the great books on which modern civilization is based.
