"If you want to know how we practised medicine 5 years ago, read a textbook.
If you want to know how we practised medicine 2 years ago, read a journal.
If you want to know how we practise medicine now, go to a (good) conference.
If you want to know how we will practise medicine in the future, listen in the hallways and use FOAM." (from International EM Education Efforts and E-Learning by Joe Lex 2012)
