INFORMATION OVERLOAD AS TECHONOLOGY BEARING ON RELATIONSHIPS September 4, 2006

The present hyper-technological world gets us to develop the ability of discriminating available information.
The growing easy access to information bears on our ways of thinking and, particularly, on our confronting with other people, thus, we must come to terms with an increasingly swift access to information.
It stands as strategically important to be able to carry out rapid and discriminating evaluations of information.
Rationality is giving way to creativity, just traditional books are giving way to the “Web�?, or handwriting to multimedia ( e.g. : youth are using their mobile terminal like pens and paper).
Gutenberg’s breakthrough, the on trough books and written texts, is now being replaced by the “I digit” ( or “digital ego”) tenet.
Grasping the momentum, the complexity, the transition, turns out to be ephemeral on information that lives trough the lapse of a few hours.
That brings about the changing circumstances as well as to turn into the different shapes which are fit for the temporary circumstances.
The new profession for 2006 consist in creating relationships and relationship networks, even trough the new technologies : is anybody really ready ?
