Organizing Web Informat

Quoting Clifford Lynch:
|As hardware becomes inexorably cheaper and more powerful, and as new
|ideas are generated, it seems likely we will see major progress in this area.

But the flow of and complexity of content are increasing at a rate close to
that of hardware speed.  I've learned to be skeptical of predictions that
hardware (r)evolutions will solve our problems.

But sociologically, with we in the US moving inexorably from an industrial 
model towards an information economy, it would be desirable from several 
standpoints to educate downsized or unemployable workers in basic indexing 
techniques (perhaps a 2 yr AA degree would do the trick) so that categorizing 
the flow of content (informotion) could be a productive alternative to 
flipping burgers.
