"The world's best internet training" Top 5 Page for this destination Messe (trade fairs) Tip by Nemorino

Favorite thing: I just realized that I began training for the internet long before there even was such a thing.

No wonder I felt right at home in the internet from day one, as soon as I got connected.

Now for the very first time I am going to reveal my secret of the world's best internet training. The secret is . . . thirty-four consecutive years of attending the Frankfurt Book Fair.

How does the Book Fair train you for the internet?

1. Both the internet and the Book Fair consist of such a vast multitude of items that no one person could ever access more than a tiny fraction.

2. No matter what your special field of interest aka obsession might be, you will find so much information on it and so many practitioners of it that before long it will seem completely normal to you, and not the kinky aberration that your parents and classmates always thought it was.

3. You can learn how to navigate and find what you want.

4. You can learn not to let the masses of items and information overwhelm you.

5. The people are at least as important as the items on display.

There is one difference, though. After a day at the Book Fair, it's your feet that are sore.
