"All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value."

If the bits in a video broadcast were printed and bound, it would make a formidable book. But very dull reading, I'm sure.

I remember the day Carl Sagan died. I was on irc, and when I saw the news, since it was on-topic, I passed it along to my channel. A long time ago...
