“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension.

—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)

That frequently happens in tropical climes
When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.””

“Authority, though it err like others,
Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,
That skins the vice o’ the top.”
