    The internet will reduce the value of a good long-term memory significantly, because you can always look things up, and it will increase the value of being a quick study dramatically. Those who can learn a new task on demand via the internet, use it, and move on to something new will be more successful than those who need to spend a long time learning. Specialization will become a lot less common, but will be a lot more valuable for those areas where it exists and is necessary.

    Mod parent up.

    What do you think is better:

    a) Slashdot teenager style:
    Tim Berners-Lee (if you need explanation, you're reading the wrong site) is interviewed

    b) Profesional looking style:
    Tim Berners-Lee is interviewed.

    It's your choice.
