Or so I have been told by more than a few people. My dad first said this to me, and we actually had a great relationship. As I thought about it, he wasn’t wrong in the sense that my shared information wasn’t actually useful in the moment. But it may turn out to be useful at some point. I love to ponder useless information. Tidbits of this and that and everything under the sun.

Who can determine if it is useless? For instance, I am what is known as a trekkie – (some call trekker, but I am firm on this, I am of the original series, so the first name was trekkie) as I write, I realize that is probably useless information to most people. When it comes to Star Trek, the original series or any series after that, I could probably wax poetic on each character’s strength and weakness, importance to the overall series or to a particular show or season. This could be useful at a Star Trek convention, a trivia game, etc. But it’s more than likely useless information for the masses. Yet I continue to absorb and gain information not just on the original series, but just about every series since. That is just one area of my UI talents.

I have many other UI talents. Not just TV shows. But I also store some useful information. Perhaps it is the timing I lack? Information given in the wrong moment? Well, then I would have to agree, information shared at the wrong moment would be entirely useless!

So, poorly time information might be more suitable?
