It's amazing how much information can be accessed at this moment of time. And much of it can be accessed on the fly, either by laptops or smartphones at whatever place we might be at any given moment.
As a matter of fact, at the end of the day it's equally what you already know and if you have the ability to find relevant new information to solve problems on the fly. Experience is still valuable, and will remain so, but if you don't develop the ability to keep learning you'll find yourself at a disadvantage.
Equally important is to be able to filter all the information according to its relevance, not being able to filter it effectively can be costly and time consuming. Here is where experience come more handy, since it helps to have a better background to filter the new set of information with. Experience is one of the best tools to filter out the noise.
Information is a powerful tool if, and only if, we can correctly put it in the right context to make it relevant. If not, is just meaningless noise or have almost no use. At the end, no information is not useful by itself.
When information meets experience, they become a virtually unstoppable force. If we have the experience to better filter the information you get, the better choices you make. As with many other aspects of life, all comes to be able to balance.
All comes to applying the right filter to come to the information needed to solve almost every problem.
