L.K. Hoffstadter · Laboratory Medicine · 1994

The human ability to “look for things” is more flexible than the computer’s, but the ability to flexibly and intelligently search for and analyze information starts to break down as the quantity of information becomes larger. Computers, however, can handle vast amounts of information without suffering any deleterious effects.
