The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy seminar paper ideas, please?

[AmayaSakurai]

I need to write a seminar paper on the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I can pick any topic title, but I need some help choosing the best one. I would very much appreciate it if people could give me some ideas. For example: The Character of Ford Prefect, The Idea of the Universe, etc.

Thank you very much and please help me out if you can! Thank you! ^_^

Comparing 'the guide' to Wikipedia, or to the internet in general is the idea that I think of right away.

Good idea Billl. An interesting question is: how close are we to having an actual, useful hitch hikers guide the universe? At least the parts we can get to :)

Especially interesting would be looking at web sites directly inspired by Adams:

"h2g2's inspiration comes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the best-selling book by Douglas Adams, one of the original founders of the site. Back in 1971, Douglas lay drunk in a field in Innsbruck, Austria, thinking about the galaxy and how you might find your way around it. His solution, the 'Guide', was an ingenious device that offered advice about almost any place, object, entity or event you might care to name - all at the convenience of your fingertips. This vision is now approaching reality, both on the Internet and on mobile phones, in the form of h2g2."

Can we now translate efficiently from other languiages? Is the babel fish now in existence?
