I imagine someone in a post apocalyptic world carrying around a single sheet like this without anyway to replay it but taking solace in knowing it exists somewhere in there.
- fsiefken 11y agoHa, yes i don't think an android phone or e-reader will last very long in a post-apocalyptic world. For a surprisingly slight trade-off in capacity one could opt to carry around a A4 sized microfiche (or 4 stacked microfiches) with 500 pages on it with 10K ascii a page (multi columned) which results in 5 MB uncompressed text. You can add a braille grade 2 or briefscript type compression (which is readable) and get 1-2 extra MB of data, contrast that to all the trouble of getting the 8 MB of data on the same 600dpi surface through multi-colored 2D codes and compression. In this case you just need a good portable magnifying lense. It uses even less power then an e-reader. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=58324.0 http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=58324.0
