The current culture in which we live affords us many “instant” opportunities that simply didn’t exist even a short while ago. Major online retailers are trying to get delivery times to 1 day or less to their large subscriber base. High-speed Internet capability allows Web-based access at unparalleled speed, and we are on the verge of a 5-G netw ork that will likely bring forth new changes to communications, travel, commerce, and other parts of our lives. On of the derivative effects of this “instant-ality” is the change in the perception of some for the need for humanly stored knowledge (biologically stored in our own brains) as compar ed with quickly retrievable knowledge by other means (usually electronic), occasionally referred to as JITI (just-in-time information).
