My first visit to Harold's site. Fascinating discussion.

While the Net's content has grown in leaps and bounds over the 14 years I have surfed it, I feel like I'm getting thousands of sound bites but relatively little in-depth content. It is a better and more convenient tool than scouring abstracts, but the detailed knowledge is still locked up in paper. And there's another thing about computer screens, I have a tougher time processing information from a screen than I do holding a piece of paper with the same words.

I think there is a need for both media - the printing press and the digital search engine. The complement each other.
