Quote of the day
There is a quote from T. S. Eliot that is somewhat popular among computer scientists and software engineers. You can find it appearing with a certain frequency on papers, conference proceedings and websites. It goes like this: "Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?".
The bright side of the story is that the complete quote would be this: "Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?". For one reason or another, the first portion does not appeal so much to the software guys :-)).
