Information Hoare

Someone who seeks information for information sake, for processing, manipulation, storage, reporting, simply to ensure that it is available when asked for (or simply to claim to have it, useful or otherwise). Named after Tony Hoare, was a pioneer in programming and data processing (he created the Quicksort algorithm).

Information Masturbation

The instant gratification or satisfaction gained from obtaining information off of the interwebs. This information is rarely retained.
