Knowledge is still power. Knowledge of how to use the cyber system and
what to do with the information in the system.
I have know many who could get the information but had no idea what to do
with it. Only how t use the cyber net.
Perhaps what knowledge is power has changed but the point is still as true
now as it was in the days of the paid scout. The scout that guided the
wagons trains across the plains. The scout had all the power by virtue of
what he knew and what he knew how to find out.
