You’re as Powerful as Henry Ford

Let me remind you that I have a row of electric buttons in my office. All I have to do is press one of them to call the person who can answer any question on any subject I wish to know, relative to the business at hand. I take care of the business, they take care of the questions. Now would you be so good as to explain why, just to answer you questions, I should have a brain stuffed with general culture, when I am surrounded by employees who can supply any information I might want to know?
— Henry Ford

One of the most effective people in all of human history lauded his ability to attain any specialized knowledge he needed at the touch of a button.

We don’t have, or need, an organization with a massive staff, an office, or even a desk with a row of buttons. Every single one of us has far more — instant connection to the entire world and all of its wonders via a relatively cheap electronic device in our pockets.

What business will you take care of, now that your brain need not be stuffed with general frivolities?
