It shows the utility of random reading across disciplines is far more valuable by bringing seemingly unrelated ideas together then the repetitive narrow internet searches guided by an algorithm that narrows things down further that the current generation is hindered by.

@Merilix2 yes, but when dealing with organic & biochemistry at that level of abstraction it feels like a completely different field of study when compared to dealing with something as humongously large as a microorganism.(Seriously I see the irony there) It's like the difference between knowing what versions of dll files you need in your Windows system versus assembly programming a driver. If you want to talk environmental science that would be like what apps you have running and their system requirements and conflicts. I was a biochemistry major that switched to computer science if you can't tell?

@bigdaddynero I think he's saying exactly the opposite, I think he's just impressed about how things that are so unrelated to one's own field can find application in another.

I remember when I had stock in celgene, my broker was like they're shooting up buy more buy more, and I was like they're selling their rights to PCR sell sell sell. I was right they shut up only because the money looked good that quarter from selling it, but once sold the stock lost its value... More than doubled my money on that, celgene went from like $10 a share to $60 at the time I owned it.
