This is new? Been true for years. Even though I know I read article X just yesterday, I still can't find it even though I scour my History file.

I don't know what era this quote is from, but it's true that if I were to rewrite it, I'd at least drop the "growing". "Tendency" seems a little weak too. Maybe just, "The inability to remember where in cyberspace you saw a particular bit of information."

This is the first time I've seen it defined, but I've known the feeling for quite a while now. I LOL'd. Literally!

It's a very cool word, although it undoubtedly combines Latin and Greek in a nonsensical fashion.
