Information rushes toward us at unprecedented speeds. We need faster computers and faster connections in order to keep up. The Internet can be an amazing resource of information. Almost any piece of information can be found instantly, day or night, without a trip to the library or other old ways of researching. But as useful as the Internet is, it also contributes to our information overload.
Some webpages are notoriously bad.
Any schmuck with an internet connection can put up his very own homepage and rant and rave about anything he likes, perpetrate misinformation, and slander others. People link to their friends, who in turn link back to them, who link to dozens of other webpages. Some people post their diaries on the web, giving anyone access to their inner thoughts and telling others more than they ever wanted to know about very personal details. Others simply post useless webpages, contributing to the glut. The site allows you to enter in the serial numbers of any bills which come your way, along with information about where you obtained it, its condition, and any other information that you want to let others know.
