Feast for the curious

Most people still underestimate the explosive potential of the internet and its enormous value to mankind. Having the tool at one’s fingertips is like sitting on the largest encyclopedia ever built by man and having unfettered access to it. Those who can take advantage of that situation will accumulate more knowledge and will advance much faster than any other of their peers, simply because knowledge is power and powerful knowledge can surely be superpower. What’s needed is some hunger for learning combined with an internet connection. I can see that at work for me, a person past his prime, who tires more quickly and is a bit more cynical than younger people; it’s literally given me a second lease on life. So my message is clear; the online culture is not something that ought to be tip-toed into, it should instead be embraced because no matter where your station in life is, time is always of the essence.
