There is no reason for new information to be more important than old information.
Sure, there's a subset of information that's ephemeral and must expire at some point. The kind of information with a call to action. But that shouldn't be the whole picture.
We need a new kind of information engines that both knows what you know, and knows what you want to know. Something that both teach you old and timeless facts, and keeps you up to date with new discoveries.
New shiny stories shouldn't distract me from what I planned to read yesterday. We need a cure to novelty.

I like this New York Times initiative.
