I remember reading a few years ago, in a book called "Uh-Oh," about this guy who used to drive his wife to work in the morning and spend the entire day at the library before picking her up. He used to dive into all sorts of subjects and wrote about the fact that there are hundreds of books published every day and how exciting he found it that he'd never be able to know everything - but it's fun trying.
I think about this excerpt (in fact the whole book) quite often, but I was reminded of it again when I heard today that every minute, 100 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube. Most of it (as well as most things written down) is useless shit - but much of it isn't. The magnitude of that number is astounding.
Sorry, this probably wasn't very coherent, but sometimes I just get floored by the amount of information in the world and how little we all really know...
