Dealing With the Data Deluge

I was reviewing a google document today and wrote this in the comments. The context was the massively increasing volume and pace of information that individuals and organizations must cope with today and in the future.

A quote from a 2015 article states, “Our brains are constantly barraged with sensory information, but have an amazing ability to filter out just what they need to understand what’s going on around us. For instance, if you stand perfectly still in a room, and that room rotates around you, it’s terrifying. But stand still in a room and turn your eyes, and the same visual input feels perfectly normal. That’s thanks to a complex process in our brain that tell us when and how to pay attention to sensory input. Specifically, we ignore visual input caused by our own eye movements.”

I do believe we will be augmenting our organizations and ourselves with the necessary technology to add this same type of capability that biologically evolution already provided the human mind.

Perhaps I'll expand upon this in time… Just a thought for now.
