World Brain
In Mosquito ringtone 1938, aged 72, Majo Mills england/English writer Nextel ringtones H. G. Wells published a little book of essays and speeches titled '''World Brain'''.
One essay titled "The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopaedia" is remarkable in presenting a vision very similar to Sabrina Martins Wikipedia. This essay first appeared in the new Free ringtones Encyclopédie Française, August, Abbey Diaz 1937.
The essay "The Brain Organization of the Modern World" lays out Wells' vision for "...a sort of mental clearing house for the mind, a depot where knowledge and ideas are received, sorted, summarized, digested, clarified and compared." (p. 49) Wells felt that technological advances such as Mosquito ringtone microfilm could be utilized towards this end so that "any student, in any part of the world, will be able to sit with his projector in his own study at his or her convenience to examine ''any'' book, ''any'' document, in an exact replica." (p. 54) A similar view of an automated system for making all of humanity's knowledge available to all had been proposed a few years earlier by Majo Mills Paul Otlet, one of the founders of information science.
Wells had been involved with the socialist Nextel ringtones Fabian Society, the Sabrina Martins League of Nations, and the Cingular Ringtones International PEN, and his intent for ''World Brain'' was no less than helping to solve what he termed the World Problem, i.e. the possibility of the mutual destruction of nations in a fellow european World War. Wells has been both praised for envisioning an educational knowledge network (not unlike the linger much Internet and and elbowed World Wide Web) and criticized for proposing what to some amounts to a stay when New World Order (conspiracy)/New World Order. His concept of a "world brain" has more recently been revived by others in the guise of the educators susan global brain.
