The signal and the noise, maybe. We have access to the entirety of knowledge, but also to SOOO much distraction!
@ Stephen: I think that the problem (or ONE of them) is that *information* doesn't always, or easily, translate or transform into *knowledge* without effort, intelligence or experience. Of course the other major problem is deciding between 'real' and 'false' information. That isn't just a natural ability that everyone has. Understanding the information you're presented with takes some skill to get the most out of.
@ Marian: I just *cannot* believe that people are really ignorant of the existence sailing ships - either in the past or present. This sort of thing just *has* to be a joke... Unless I want to lose my 'faith' in Humanity *completely* [lol]
