Information Overload

So....What shall I write about today?!... Again it's been ages since I posted something. Looking at my previous post I again realise that time does actually fly. It's been practically a year since my last post. So much happened since then!...

Where is the world heading?....Does history repeat itself?....What will be the next big scientific breakthrough that will change our way of thinking?....

These are just some of the questions that keep coming up my mind. The funny thing is that everyone wants to have an answer.

Knowledge is Power....and Ignorance is Bliss!... Which one is best?

Surely, Information is getting more easily available. Need something?....google it! .... not there?!..panic!....ok....calm down....wait....search again.... ah!...there it is .... see ;)

In not so older days there used to be a clear distinction between Data and Information. As I know it, Information is basically making sense of Data.....but now I wonder if this still holds.

Search engines try to filter out information for us....there is so much out there for our little brain! We just need to find what we really need and not be inundated with things, however important they might be, but practically unnecessary for our daily living.

Ah well, then again I say to myself....why should I bother you with this unnecessary stuff?!...Bet you have more important matters to do right? ...
