The Information Overload

Aug 13th, 2012 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

I was fifteen the year information came alive. Before that, we had a vague sense that information was becoming more dangerous, that there was a potential for catastrophe, but everyone was too busy making money to worry much about the ramifications.

Now our only hope is that knowledge can somehow overcome the information overload. Information bangs on pots and pans demanding your attention. It feeds off it. Knowledge sits quietly in its room waiting to be called upon.

It’s still an open question which is more powerful. But either way, the days of humanity dominating the Earth are long over.
