Too Much Information

From the department of "In case you care"...I've posted a new article on elearnspace: Impact of "Too Much Information". I detail some of my stresses and strategies in processing the mountain of information (you'd think I could have thought of something more original that to use an abused cliche :))...

In today's society, possessing knowledge is not the most valuable trait - information is developing too quickly to be a static "I have knowledge" scenario. Today, the most valuable skill is the ability to acquire, evaluate, dissemenate, knowledge and information quickly. Consider it a "meta-skill" - we need to know where to go to get what we need to know (say that 10 times fast...)
