The worst thing is not not knowing, it's not having the courage (or understanding) to say "I don't know". The fact is we actually know so very little. As all data becomes instantly accessible, it becomes more and more important to be able to weed out all the meaningless stuff. Knowledge worker quickly becomes a non-knowledge worker. One who can figure out the right questions.<br><br>I would really like a newspaper (or website) that would only publish news when something has truly changed. Might sound a bit harsh, but let me know when there is peace in the middle east. I have to disagree with Jussi.

I agree with you that hypernovelty is quite interesting thing and it is not all positive. Time to time I have hard time to restrain myself for not shouting or commenting “wanha!” when some of my friends or colleagues pass me links or content that I have seen before.
