“A species which does not know it's environment will eventually become extinct”
 
– Science Of The Immortals

Information is all around us.  We live in a sea of information.  A few clicks on the internet – will give you information about anything you desire.
 
Today, we have access to massive, some would even say ‘oppressive,’ amounts of information, via the internet 24 hours a day – 24/7 global news coverage – there is also the advent of sophisticated technology, such as AI, & Robotics, powerful Computers and even Quantum Computing (to read more click here.)  All this mass of information, is both constantly and easily available through ubiquitous everyday technology of smartphones, tablets, laptops etc….  and other gadgets.  In accessing information today, it seems that we are spoilt for choice.
 
INFORMATION ‘WAVES’ & ‘FLOODS’
 
Waves of information are constantly crashing in from all directions and we are constantly being bombarded with information as various entities fight for our precious attention – whether it be to sell us products – or influence us socially and politically through its dissemination.
 
Currently, it seems, there exists an apparent paradox.  Information, whilst generally accepted as being valuable and useful, is also abundant, there is no shortage of information – we actually are flooded with the stuff.
 
Yes – all this we have access to and the impact of these developments on all the various facets of our environment - our societies, lifestyles and culture, both individually and collectively has been dramatic.
