"Something else has happened with computers. Whats happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process. When I think of all the information being processed there, all the information being communicated back and forth over the Internet, or even just all the information that you and I can communicate back and forth by talking, I start to look at the total amount of information being processed by human beings ? and their artifacts ? we are at a very interesting point of human history, which is at the stage where our artifacts will soon be processing more information than we physically will be able to process."
