I'm not so sure of that. Despite the huge amounts of data I am actually more able to find things now than ever. Thunderbird or mutt both automatically sort my email, the search functionalities work great, etc. But even more impressive is google. I often don't even bookmark things anymore. I just google it the next time I need it and it is usually the top link. I probably hit google a dozen times in a day. Sure, I would love some artificial technology that can correctly interpret images, video files, etc. and I agree that is a long way off. But the most important thing I search these days is still text. Sometimes that text is meta-data describing a movie or audio clip or image and while not ideal it is good enough for now since I rarely search these things. - -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCgvxG9PIYKZYVAq0RAgAHAJ9odclXNz4byZPHkvgdYUkzT9GHTQCdGPav DbAW1Axf9oLZrOL5CNxlgNc= =3pW5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
