All of that information and we're still asking the same question.

Do you recall the term, GIGO, from the beginning of the information age?

Here we are, fighting anthropomorphic global warming with cap and trade.

Mindblowing, I suppose, yet the point about the number of words in the English language between now and Shakespeare's time begs the observation that, even though he had "less" to work with, he still had a greater command of the English language and how to timelessly communicate through that medium than most of those millions (or is it billions now?) of people who speak and think in it today.

Quantity ≠ quality, no matter how big it gets.

"Today the total number of text messages sent and received exceeds the population of the planet."

And that's just my daughter, from what I can tell.
