| Linda: | (nodding) If you contemplate the 'lifespan' of an average text, it's sobering. Only a few texts survive beyond the lifespan of their creators. Most of what we write is essentially dead within hours or days. |

| Lis: | (shrugging her shoulders) Besides, aren't we already overloaded with information? We are bombarded with trivia, but when it comes to valuable information how much input do we actually receive? |
