I found the most profound statement to be, "search may well become the most important activity involving humankind." Think about how this will condition humanity's acquisition of knowledge. We will soon "know" many of the things we know through the use of a machine. Verbal communication seems to be waning. Looking forward to hearing about the gold. Some good statistics here.

Search, coupled with "like-minded" networks is the late <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Rigby" rel="nofollow">Eleanor Rigby's</a> golden calf. <a href="http://shirky.com/writings/community_scale.html" rel="nofollow">Clay Shirky</a> has an interesting analysis on this, as it relates to how the media captures our attention. It is a bit of a twist. But certainly worth taking a look at, if you haven't already. I look forward to reading part II. Interesting Roger.

I look forward to reading part II.
