Linking is, of course, a good thing. It's never been easier to access such a wealth of information, to put so much information in relation with each other.

I just sat there for a while, staring at the screen.
It took me some time to realize, that I had, in fact, read the entire Entire World Wide Web.


What will I do with my life now?
