Why can’t we download all manuals?

Tuesday, 10 February 2009

104771_6424Brad Templeton recently posted his idea of how all of our manuals and documentation should be easily downloadable from a reliable site based on the UPC of the product. Since not all companies last forever, a sort of online escrow repository would make things even better.

I guess we can dream a little, can’t we?

    I’ve got camera manuals in PDF for safe keeping but never really gave a thought to all of the other product manuals that clog two filing cabinet drawers. While many times I have carried a printed camera manual with me, I don’t ever recall needing to carry around the manual for my washing machine. Good idea for getting rid of all of that clutter.

    Go ahead and chop off all of the spines and scan those puppies in! Free up those filing cabinet drawers for more important stuff, like… Hmmmm…..
