It's a blessing because of the tremendous amount of information available to you. And it's a curse because of the tremendous amount of information available to you. The Web is like a library that is growing every hour, but doesn't have a card catalog to help you find what you need when you need it. The information on the Internet will only become useful when you have a way to find just the information you need when you need it.
Most people go to one of the many Internet search engines available as a place to start.
With that many matches most people simply give up the search. Even if you can narrow the search to find the information you are looking for, you have to go to several search sites such as Yahoo, Alta-Vista or Lycos and type in a few search words. You then have to redo the same process for each site. This is a waste of time. As helpful as they are, these sites are far from perfect.
