As the net gathers more and more information, will some of the old stuff
have to be dumped to make room for new stuff?

The problem is that the information doesn't reside on the internet, it resides on a computer (server) at someone's house or place of business. The "internet" is a means of reaching the millions of computers worldwide that have "stuff" that people make available to be viewed via the internet.Kurdt said:I do think there should be a cleanup of all the junk on the net though.
Does that apply to the old members of a forum too?:uhh:Kurdt said:I do think there should be a cleanup of all the junk on the net though.

Nah - I think this is one of the worst things about the internet.mattmns said:You better be joking
J77 said:Others things include the trivialisation of knowledge. Everyone is suddenly an expert, simply by using Google or Wikipedia. Knowledge requires a lot of ground work, not simply looking up the answer. For example, the way kids are encouraged to learn for exams from revision sites. IME, you can learn much more from a good book.
Internet's good for work though...
Interesting.fargoth said:well, a good book is better, but most of the people won't make time to read it... if the answer is hard to get to, they would just give up.
it's better that they know only the instant answer then non at all.
Schrodinger's Dog said:Fact is you can put up links which you use as source material for your argument but if you don't then use it to make points between the lines or you don't get both sides view points then your post isn't liable to mean much to anyone, it's not knowledge that is important it's how you use it to further the discussion,it's the difference between a shallow post of little witt and a well constructed position.
The most effective way to maximize net storage is to constantly evaluate the importance and relevance of old data and make room for new data accordingly. This can be done by implementing a data management system that prioritizes and organizes data based on its importance and usage.
It depends on the nature of your data and its importance to your research or work. If old data is still relevant and frequently used, it may be worth keeping. However, if it is no longer useful, it is better to make room for new data that is more current and relevant.
To determine the importance of old data, you can consider factors such as its relevance to your current research or work, its potential for future use, and the cost or effort required to retrieve or store it. You can also consult with colleagues or experts in the field for their insights.
Yes, it is possible to maximize net storage without deleting old data. This can be achieved by implementing data compression techniques or using external storage options such as cloud storage. Additionally, regularly archiving old data can also help free up space while still retaining access to the data if needed.
Not effectively managing old data can result in limited storage space, decreased efficiency in data retrieval, and potential loss of important data. It can also lead to increased costs for storage solutions and hinder the progress of new research or work due to limited space for new data.
