Writing goes arm hand  in arm hand  with reading. But reading has a darker shade. Pieces of writing are potentially eternal, and if every human writes something, the amount of scripta must be immense. If everybody on Earth writes a single word in this second, the combined corpus of words would form the equivalent of about 9,000 bibles. That's the potential amount of writing the human race can produce in an instant. But we write considerably more than a single word in our lifetime, so \textit{nobody can ever read every single word ever written}. We are restrained by our own finite time boundaries and each one of us can only put a microscopic tap into the colossal source of knowledge. That is why we specialize and why it gets harder to do so with time. That is why we select books to read and summarize them. And that is why we share our knowledge. When I walk in a library, the initial excitement of discovery is soon replaced with a feeling of disorientation. I feel lost and overshadowed by the vast amount of information I am facing. In front of me, books I will never be able to read and ideas I will never be able to grasp or even think, giving me a strong feeling of impotence. We are all armed with the will of knowing and searching for the truth, but we lack the instrument to comprehend it all. An even more desolating experience could be given by a hypothetical library containing every book ever written. Google Books estimates this number to be 130 million (or - very roughly - about $10^{7}$). Imagine walking through this library and reading only the titles of the book it contains. It would take you about 12 years of your life to read them all, without a pause.
