Boy, if that isn't a" sleeper" of a question. At first it seems so innocent. Bordering on simple. One would need only reply with the yes or no answer. But I think the question belies something much deeper and critical. I think the roof question is "Is the Internet getting in your way?" This is something we could debate and feel free to put your comments down below but speaking personally I would answer "Yes" for myself.

The Internet and indeed our entire way of communicating currently seems to be getting in the way of efficiently or at least uniformly going through one's day. People have not yet learned how to deal with this much information and the mechanisms we have in place frequently get in the way of useful delivery. Ever notice how many pop-ups you get when you turn your phone on? And let's not even go down the rabbit hole of email. I would read more of it if we had a more useful way to structure and present the data/information. And the sites that purport to give you a "snippet" view of the information I just find it annoying because I really do want to know in detail about whatever I am pursuing.

It is going to be interesting to see what things are like in 100 years although I don't think it'll take nearly that long, for something utterly new to replace our way of approaching information. This has nothing to do with the amount of information a person can digest in a given period of time it has much more to do with the quality of the knowledge gained. Let me know what you think.

Have a good evening everyone out there on good old planet Earth.
More in the coming days. This has been just a quick entry for today. But a question like this might even turn into a video over the weekend. Keep your eyes on this page.
