Interesting article from CNN regarding the problem we’re all familiar with: information overload.

“Does all this instantly accessible information make us much smarter or simply more stressed?”

No doubt, that the Net offer convenient access to variety of information sources that could satisfy our intellectual needs – so much so, that it is impossible to keep up with. A lot of effort has been done to increase our ability to find and manage information (with the help of tools, technology, or community). Unfortunately, the ability to transform this information into knowledge has not been widely addressed. The picture is rather bleak – “”If you fill every waking minute with more media, you never do any
independent thinking,… You may have all the specific
pieces of information, but the higher level is knowledge and
understanding. You don’t have time for that reflection if it’s being
thrown at you at never-ending streams…All you can do is duck.”
