TO:
TRANSMITTING: Today's transmission is the constant flow of ideas and messages near the speed of light. In comparison, written word may very well fail to qualify as transmission
PRINTING PRESS: The transformation that takes place is even more a radical divergence from previous modes of record than the printing press was from transcription.
STARTLING: Today, the issue of works going unread is just as prevalent, if not more (who goes past the first few pages of millions of search results?). However, each web site is equally available.
SCIENCE: Now you not only read scientific papers, but browse whole collections, put together by others.
EXTENDING: The availability of the internet can almost guarantee that those with the right perspective, "those who are capable of grasping and extending it", can find such ideas.
UNDULY: We do publish unduly. Billions of opinions posted by whoever can type. The internet requires no credentials, no permission. However, the cost of each site is even less than what many are worth. When the time of the internet comes, do not be overwhelmed the superabundance of web sites, scientific and other. Embrace it as a way that the user, you, have full access to all, and your contributions can help popularize the sites of your choice. You are the way in which the truly significant can separate itself from the inconsequential; hits, comments, and links can all greatly increase the traffic to consume an idea.
MOMENTARILY IMPORTANT: Fortunately, search engines were invented, so that finding the needle of fact among the haystack of the inconsequential requires little effort. There is no longer need to memorize long equations that you may need in the future; any equation is a single search and milliseconds away.
CONSULTED: "Continuously extended" and "consulted". If nothing else, these to facts are guaranteed by the internet. It is constantly growing, and the most popular mode of gathering information.
UTTERLY NEW: This is what you were looking for. I think you're going to like it.
