Project Wikipedia: Success but at what cost?

Well lucratively, it cost me nothing unless, if you put a dollar amount next to what the worth of my time. Between juggling my ideas through different operating systems, encrypted firmware, and just general frustration, I probably spent more time on this project then I should of. But hey isn't that what learning is all about.

In the process of making this project I could fell the frustrations of many people in our modern technology driven society, trying to keep up with the amount of new technologies that are put into play almost every day. Luckily for me I am relatively good at adjusting my learning practices into a new mode of information. It is easier for me to learn a new program versus learning how to wrangle cattle.

The Internet being a larger and larger source of communication it is bringing a new level of literacy into the masses, learning has gone technical and very indirect. Instead of seeing the consequences for your actions unfold before your eyes an error message appears. The blue screen of death could be making a mistake as big as death itself. As new problems occur new modern solutions also appear and bring the level of communication and problem solving to happen.

According to Social Psychologist, George Herbert Mead, communication is a tool for problem solving. With the speed of communication increasing very quickly the amount of problems that humans can accomplish may increase, but there is still only a certain amount of information that can occur.

is this the end...

With much deliberation and research done on the internet, i am finding it impossible to put Linux on my ipod. Forever it will be a tool to the Apple system. according to many sources and comments and hatred by people.

In the 6th edition ipods, or also more commonly known as ipod classic were uploaded with firmware that could only be updated by apple products. This includes the infamous IpoLinux that would Project which allowed older ipods to do things like play videos. I found this out through the project's website.

There was also specific how-tos to put wikipedia on the ipod with a special installer package made. It showed the the static dump for Wikipedia (which is done every six months, just to make sure that all of the information isnt lost. there is also a larger file that contains all of the different pictures that are used and where they appear on each page.

If i make any progress trying to accomplish this project i think i would need to become more familar with the coding language of linux and how to use the

The journey to a mobile all-knowing device: a path best through apple and linux

It has been attributed many times in pop media of a all knowing device that is both all knowing and also to be the source of all information ever created. Examples are the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy in the book with the same name and also the PokeDex in the game Pokemon. Wikipedia is the first step in this direction providing the amount of information that can be available anywhere at limitless amounts. The only problem is the none portable nsture of this application. Outside of the Smartphone industry, which provides a very small version of Wikipedia and you ned access to either a wi-fi or 3g connection, there is no way to access this resource outside the confines of humanity. With the WikiDex, yes I know its a terrible name, there will be no confines, except of battery life.

=>Tentatively I will put linux on the Ipod replacing its already existing GUI and=

=>From there I will put on a program that is able to capture the text of wikipedia and convert it to files.

I will upload the files onto the ipod, find a flashy interface, and viola the WikiDex
