Hi,

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, cynical or both, but I don't see any correlation between a marked increase in the availability of information and a general increase in the awareness of people.

Maybe the thirst for information in place of the provision of quality information is creating a whole new generation of infoholics -- where the character and quality of the wine in the bottle is of much less importance than the alchohol content and the actual range of choice when it comes to getting overloaded (either with info or frim fram sauce) into oblivion.

Maybe we will get so used to constantly looking for information that we actually forget why we are doing it.

Maybe we need something like Yawn Borgs who will do all the boring "information tasting" for us and will only recommend the stuff that is really of use and of quality.

Cheers,

Martyn
