This was just the ticket.

As a programmer/engineer/allaroundgetherdone type of person, I need to spend more time surfing.

Because no matter how hard I seem to work and how much I do, when I finish, invariably, someone else has done it faster/better/cheaper.

Yes – Somewhere down the line the concept of value-addition got mixed up with value-accumulation….and hence creativity got diminished…

Thanks mostly to the Internet…
