Welcome to the world of tomorrow...Today!

We are constantly bombarded by information. Data in it's many relevant, and irrelevant forms surrounds us at all times, and most of the world is but a mouse click away. But how exactly are we to sift through the craap and find the goods? Some would suggest the simple adage: "If it sounds too good to be true, then it is." Taken from what seems to be the same mindset is the position of "trust nothing." Caution is paramount, but if we believe nothing, then nothing will be learned. Information Literacy is rapidly gaining a forefront position in the social consciousness, as more and more public figures, authoritative bodies, and world leaders are recognizing it's importance in the ever-shrinking world. I for one wasn't even aware that this past October was Information Literacy month, as proclaimed by U.S. President Barack Obama. So be critical but not dismissive, stay analytical but don't forget to laugh, and in the immortal words of Barney Stinson: "This is so going in my blog!"
