We were suspicious of these claims back then. Information is cheap, we pointed out. It’s wisdom that is precious, and you don’t get much of that on the Internet. You have to pay for it… with bitter experience.
In fact, information — unless it is exactly what you need, exactly when you need it — has negative value. It distracts you. It must be applied. And stored.
No, dear reader, information is like manure. A little, at the right time, is a good thing. Pile up too much, and it stinks.”
