..an interesting thought. can publishers drive interest in the new, by giving away the old?

from popular science website:
“We’ve partnered with Google to offer our entire 137-year archive for free browsing. Each issue appears just as it did at its original time of publication, complete with period advertisements. It’s an amazing resource that beautifully encapsulates our ongoing fascination with the future, and science and technology’s incredible potential to improve our lives. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

In the future, we’ll be adding more advanced features for searching and browsing, but for now, enter any keyword into the box below and dive in.”

Check out the future as envisioned by Keiichi Matsuda.

Some thoughts on implications:

- Create an even more expanded of product.  Think about our notion of the “app store”, but less bounded by a provider like Apple and part of every environment you enter, every retailer you walk into.  Imagine the product extensions and the branded utility that would be possible?

- On the negative side there’s potential for enormous environmental- urban spam.  If you think pop-ups, twitter solicitations and malware were a nuisance it would seem the possiblities for intrusions could get alot more “interesting”.  On the other hand, disciples of  James Powderly and Banksy would certainly inherit an elaborate new pallette.  Imagine immersive video games and environmental animations as graffiti?

- You can also imagine a much more human, mentoring form of augmented intelligence somewhere between Morpheus and a friendly ghost.
