Example Sentences

Open E-Movies. A digital repository of more than 10,000 different movies has been collected by Rick Prelinger […] Many of them are characterized as “ephemeral” or temporary — which has made it legally possible for Prelinger to digitize and offer them as public domain content of the Internet.

Of course, all of this begs the question: What will the Internet become? For one thing, it may actually become smaller and more focused. Focused on what? Maybe on what it already does best: communicate. In fact, we could see video e-mail emerge long before e-movies become practical, thanks to innovations like the cable modem.

For libraries, the Internet is your collection, it's your reading room, it's your catalog, it's your interloan, it's your helpdesk, it's your opportunity to reclaim relevance. And I'm afraid to say, you're the pointy end of the digital redefinition of culture and heritage institutions and public services, because text is small and the first to go digital. E-books? Next are e-music, e-movies, e-ephemera, e-maps, e-paintings, e-sculpture, and who knows what else.
