Wealth and poverty
Half a million new libraries the size of the Library of Congress. That's how much new information we create in a year -- 92% of it stored on magnetic media.* It's time we shifted our focus from creating a wealth of information to addressing the ensuing poverty of attention [44-45].

Poverty of attention? How can there be anything but with all that information produced each year? The number of books alone that are published is astounding. How does one keep up?
