At the same time, the "just" or "all it takes" tend to be the most difficult part of the process.
So griffonwing, while you say "The technology is available, it just has yet to be implemented", guess what the most complex part of the problem is. If you can't actually offer any insight into how the implementation would take place, you're words are as valuable as someone saying "Fixing health care is simple. All they need to do is find the cure to all the diseases." (And I'm not intending to pick on you personally, it's just that your phrase was sitting up there in the quoted text, and it worked quite well for the example.)

I never claimed to know
how to implement the technology. I only know that it will take some doing, but that the technology to do it is already here. Googles indexing service is very good, and highly advanced, and would work very well for book-storage and searching. As to how to go about it, that needs to be left up to those with the know-how.
And it's different than health-care and "curing all diseases". Yes, the technology is here, possibly, to prevent them all, but out bodies are smarter and are constantly evolving to immunize against these drugs to where they are worthless, or weakened.
The goole search indexing service is here already, it just needs to be tweaked, and implemented. All Cures is not here yet, and will require much more research, and we may still never know everything about the human body.
I understand where you were trying to come from, but the analogy was like apples to oranges.
