Raj Reddy: They may not be in existence but we estimate from the time the Gutenberg Press was invented there are probably about 100 million books that have been printed and published in all the languages, of which there is only a record of 42 million books in the OCLC catalogue.

Raj Reddy: The current plan is if we can get about 10 million books in the next 10 to 20 years, then that’ll become such an important resource for the world that everybody will start you know using it and then it’ll build on itself.

 CMU's Raj Reddy fills lives with big questions
Raj Reddy, who will soon step down as dean of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, is a man of few interests.
Among the projects Reddy is either involved with or has inspired are Informedia, which uses technology to search video, speech and text; the Universal Library, which aims to place and coordinate "all the world's knowledge" on the Web; and the intelligent-vehicle project, which allows humans to rest or read while a computer operates their car.
And Reddy was one of the founding directors of the Robotics Institute, which has so outgrown its quarters that it is almost doubling in size, adding two stories to its building on campus.

Reddy said he began working on the project in earnest a year ago, when he finally found a company -- South Korea's TriGem -- willing to build the PCtvt prototypes for $450 apiece, with a reasonable chance of building them for $250 a copy once in mass production.
Reddy took a different approach, giving the PCtvt multiple functions so that it might be more valuable -- and saleable -- to poor families who lack many electronic devices.
Even the modest costs that Reddy and Newton envision for their computers and networks might seem beyond the reach of most of the world's population; per capita income in India is $550 a year.

Reddy, a pioneering researcher in artificial intelligence and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, plans to unveil at the end of this year his new project, called the PCtvt, a $250 wirelessly networked personal computer intended for the four billion people around the world who live on less than $2,000 a year.
Reddy believes that he will be able to use it as a vehicle to take computing and communications to populations that until now have been excluded from the digital world.
Reddy has built a simple control screen that allows the PCtvt to be used for audio and video conferencing, electronic mail and viewing local newspapers on the Web through a TV remote control.
