CUE 2009

You are looking for something in particular. A friend recommended a site which mentions an article that you plan to read in detail. You searched an article directory and finally found what you are looking for. Sometimes when you are looking for a needle in the haystack, it pays to be organized in some small way. The information explosion has been both a bane and a thorn to your existence. When you are a researcher and you do it for a living, the more information you unearth to answer one question, more of them are needed to answer even more questions. You believe that knowledge is power and based on the volume of information on the internet, there are a lot of powerful people out there. You have been asked more than once to find answers in minutes and you have never failed to deliver the appropriate answers.

You wish that all available information on the world wide web is free. You used to think that because the internet is easy to penetrate, everything is yours even before you ask. However, there are exclusive sites that are only open for paying members. Those sites that do not provide free articles have a hard time justifying the extra expense to their clients. The internet is free just like air. No one seems to have the power to harness air for their own individual use so people try to form their own groups and harness the influence and widespread reach of the internet instead.
