If it makes anyone feel better, a great deal of the information
encapsulated in the projections is unreliable.

 

Just to let you know, the brightest, most sophisticated computer program
on the planet has less computing capability than the mind of a mouse.

Computer Center, 2007)  

 

Some of the data is incorrect about education projections as well.  I
thought it a well crafted document, but found myself considering that
devious word, retention as pertinent.  While I can't dispute the
generation of information, human nature being what it is, it appears we
do not want to keep the mass of what we wrote.

Subject: [RM] Did you know? Youtube video on the speed of informational
change

 

This is a fascinating video on YouTube about the speed of informational

change. As Luis said, it was very thought-provoking to me and left me
quite

humble - although I think the stat on the amount of information created
this

year is low by a factor of 4. To understand what I mean, you'll have to

watch the entire 6-minute video.
