An Orange Juice Company in Costa Rica decided to dump 12000 Tons of there Organic wastes into a barren area and then for reasons, completely forgot about it. Two decades later when they revisited the original site that landmass had become a complete Forest with a vibrant ecosystem that just took one flimsy effort.

Similarly, if GoI Agencies like NMM, IGNCA, National Archives, National Museum, Doordarshan, AIR, Nehru Memorial, NSD, National Film Dev Board and the rest just decide to put all there digital Collections online , global aficionados will assure the Internet of Things Logical Conclusion of that material.

Publishing Books, organizing conferences is like
trying to market yourself using snail-mail in the World of FB and Google,
like walking to work when they have planes and cars
primitive efforts in a World which is hungry for Big Data.

Think Big, think Big Data, Digitize and Dump Online

Awaiting the Great linking of Information, pattern mining, Democratization of Information – the Gift of Vidya to the Multiverse – the flood Gates of Information – the Next Great Cultural Revolution .
