It's rather interesting how communication technology has been integrated to our daily lives in such an intricate way. Modern smartphones let us to share with others in many ways, it can be as private as phone call or as public as a Twitter entry.
We can even share photos and videos from our mobile devices from the spot we took them, it's as easy as just selecting the file we want to upload and push a button to do so. There is a few things we can't share yet, not to mention that the smartphone is at all times with us.
Information overload is an ever present possibility, and it's ever more important to be able to filter noise from useful and relevant information. So, there is a need to learn how to effectively filter all the information we get in order not to be overwhelmed, or not be able to differentiate good from bad information.
The hard part is to be able to know which information is relevant to us, so that we can actually do something, and not if the information is available. Now the people who knows how to get that information, and can put it to work more effectively, are the ones who have the edge.
More than ever, we need to give people the tools to effectively balance the capacity to find the right information and the ability to put it to use.
How to do things, almost anything we can imagine, is at hand. I'm hopeful that most will be able to make use of the information we have today, and take humanity to even higher levels.
