The age of Information
The information highway of the modern internet driven world has immensely benefited us by its various facets and perhaps the days have gone, when we had to depend upon individuals for information.
The problem is when the information comes from individual, they are accompanied with his personal views and biased opinions, from which filtration becomes a big challenge.
Every individual has to take several decisions every day and most of the decisions are taken based on information and speculations. Let’s take an example. You need to decide, where to go for your weekend break? If you find that your predetermined sea beach has been suddenly threatened by sharks, will you still take the risk of taking your family over there to freak around? Perhaps, the trend analysis based on the information of the recent past will force you to speculate risk of the visit and will influence your decision making process, which will certainly oppose to the idea. You will have to find some alternatives immediately.
We are lucky enough that today we can become really independent for collecting information as the information highway has given us plenty of opportunities to find information to enable our decisions to become prudent.
What we are still lacking is the authenticity and accuracy. As most of the information portal also comes up with information, which mixes their views also, for business purposes. So, the roughest job is to find the right information portal, where we can collect most of our information, else even information can lead to a formidable disaster.
