One of the effects of living with electric information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think we are definitely suffering from an information overload, but I believe that there is going to be better and better ways of organizing that information and processing it so that it will enhance your daily life.
I agree completely with my son James when he says 'Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge'.
Energy, health care and education are just three examples of areas in which information and information management are critically important. How are we using our energy? What appliances in homes or business are consuming the most energy? When do they consume it? Can the load be shifted? How efficient are these devices?
If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power.
Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves.
Most of us feel overburdened by information, although I would say the overloaded feeling comes more from coordinating all of the information and responding to it.
The importance of information is directly proportional to its improbability.
The more you eliminate the inefficient use of information, the better it is for productivity.
Scientifically, information is a choice - a yes-or-no choice. In a broader sense, information is everything that informs our world - writing, painting, music, money.
There is an enormous market demand for information. It just has to be fulfilled in a way that fits with the technology of our times.
