This Week... Information... overload.

Commentary

Information is not knowledge. Albert Einstein

The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop. Mark Twain

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders. Ronald Reagan

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information. Oscar Wilde

Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

T. S. Eliot

True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.

Winston Churchill

This revolution, the information revoultion, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It’s very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt bulb to run it and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now? Steve Jobs – not sure if I share your optimism anymore Jobbo. Not sure you would to be honest.

The below was supposed to be filled with lots of great things… but I’ve reached information overload and I’ll share it with you again next week instead… I hope you understand. I do love you. I just can’t take this world anymore today. I’ll leave with the great Mr Byrne:
