I realise this is probably going to be nuked into oblivion, but I feel it's a valid point that needs making.
I'm sorry, but I'm inclined to disagree.
Everything would not be the wonderful, interconnected web of ideas if we all merely noded without occasionally stepping back from the nodes, looking around at the nodescape and seeing that it is good. Everything is a resource for the entire internet community, as well as a meeting place for similar (and not-so-similar) minds. There is nothing wrong with reading nodes, following the softlinks and hardlinks, going off at a tangent, filling your mind with useless information.
It is true, from the simple nature of the media, that Everything is not a TV set. People are not going to sit with a blank expression on their face, staring into the cool tones of Jukka Dim. Some will come for a specific piece of information - the Encyclopedia Britannica will not tell you that the Finns eat Peasoup every Thursday. Webster's will not tell you the meaning of YIFF or TMTOWDI. Few reference sources will state the pros and cons of Depleted Uranium. With Everything's assimilation into the search engines, these will become common knowledge. Others will come to gain general knowledge, to learn contemporary culture, to understand the cultural differences which make this world, for the better, and for the worse.
Yes, Everything needs noders. It will always need us. But it still requires people to read it. Noders are readers. Readers become Noders. It takes all types to make Everything.
Everything is not a TV set! It is much, much more besides.
