Too Big To Know

T. S. Eliot wrote :
Where is the life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

Signals abound that information is everywhere.  That a kid in Africa with a smart phone has access to more information than the US President did 10 years ago.  Pretty amazing, and potentially pretty dangerous.  Dangerous for those who, as Seth Godin says, want to be revolutionaries.  The fact is, Seth points out, that we all say we want to be, but few of us act on it.
