Decentralized Human Processing

This is a very cool idea on how to harness the internet to do the work for you. The idea of using CAPTCHA text strokes to transcribe books into digital form is genius. This is way better than the useless decentralized data processing that SETI fools people into doing, or Google image-tagging done by "volunteers." Random words spread out all over the world as images, in which people are motivated to type them correctly for their own needs, instead of some stupid altruistic game like the non-evil Google people are running. Just think of all the man-hours saved by having millions of people do this. The human genome project was a success using decentralized data processing, but this idea doesn't even need you to own a computer. I'm totally impressed.
