Interesting concept, even though I dont quite agree that "forgetting" is a virtue.
Since it's easy to find information as and when we want it through Internet, that means we do not have to try our best to memorize. We can free our brain cells to focus on application of information, rather than memorizing the information.
This does not imply "forgetting". It just means that we utilize our brain cells in other way.
Not only is it too soon to celebrate, we are now plunging headlong into economic catastrophe in the west, leaving the reins of true power firmly grasped in the hands of the architects of this misery - the banks.
In and around the hedge, nomatter what they try and sell you, it's always Groundhog Day. Always. Only the groundhogs have now completely morphed into lemmings, vaunting rancid vaporware as though it were The New Commodity.
Even so, not all of them jump at once. Why, you ask?
Here's why: because it would be just too fantastic if that entire species were to become suddenly extinct.
Analogy: a smoker is found to have an early lung cancer.
It is pointless to debated whether he should either (a) stop smoking or (b) have the cancer excised.
He must do both. We must Both decarbonise our economy (which will itself deliver a much wanted boost to the world economy by creating jobs in energy conservation and renewables)and sequester the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
It's a bit like walking along and chewing gum at the same time. Some cannot do this, but most, with a little application, find that they can.
