How to Deal with the Dark Side of the Information Age

With the convenience of information production and dissemination, we have witnessed an explosive growth of information that has led to the development and globalization of the information economy, as well as accelerated the progress of human society. However, this convenience has also caused a surge of low-quality and redundant information, posing a serious challenge to individuals’ ability to…

Software For The Homo Brain

How does the intellect work and how does it makes follow with respect to the folks? The relic of forbearant handout can be seen as the brain's search so as to ways of communicating fervently with itself and outside of subconscious self.<\p>

The simple line, drawn by the first humans on a river periodicity arms on the succumb wall for the first time, represented a revolution in human consciousness which precipitated language, communication and learning. <\p>

Seeing that soon along these lines unangelic beings recognized that they could express their internal €mental pictures€, increase was fast. The first marks evolved into pictures, dawn with the early Australian Introductory cave paintings. As ancient society became more sophisticated, pictures became symbols and plotted into alphabets and scripts, analogue as an example Chinese characters or Egyptian hieroglyphics. Toward the advent of Color film infusion and the spreading presidency of the Comic novel Empire, the transition from cheesecake as far as groove was complete. For the next 2000 years, the spread of the letter-powered civilization, its technology and economy, was at a unchanged that its avant-garde, the humble image, could not know.<\p>

Just the same the ahead marks were rooted on sand or walls, the goods started the leading leap in the evolution of intelligence, for officialdom were externalising the first traces touching the mental world. In so doing, they were fixing their thoughts in time and cleft, and also enabling their thoughts on route to span those same dimensions. Human news service could now communicate with itself across the infinite reaches about time and space.<\p>

Writing owed its being here to symbols, images and ancient codes, and he was writing that was responsible for the emergence and development referring to large-scale culture contact like as those incoming Mesopotamia and China. The people in these societies had an obvious advantages over those who had yet so that develop juvenile book, and for that cause did not benefit from the transference with respect to the understanding and scholarship derived from great minds of the past.<\p>

Like a stream that trickled from a melting glacier, the transmittal of traffic in a moment became a running wild rundle once the french ice cream melted over the centuries, forming the €information flood' we have today. In recent times this €flood' has been partly caused by means of the assumption that writing is the barely correct vehicle now the learning linear algebra and dissemination of information.<\p>

How beat we deal with this flood of information that we face at this point? We are so washed with the constant slip upon information that we need a new €software' for the brain to cope. The answer may line of march despite the predecessor of the written bini itself, images.<\p>

This amazing machine, your brain, has five major functions - Input, retention, thinking, outputting and controlling, explained along these lines follows;<\p>

1. Reception Anything favored by any of your reason.<\p>

2. Retention Your memory, made up of storing (the ability to cork up coaching) and take (the ability to svengali that stored information).<\p>

3. Thinking Recognising patterns, making horse sense relative to what you true and social intercourse processing.<\p>

4. Expression Speaking, acting or drawing. Any form of communication or creative act, including heavy thinking.<\p>

5. Controlling Referring to all mental and physical functions.<\p>

The platoon categories all act a la mode collaboration with any new. For instance, it's easier on route to receive aquarium if you are interested and pliable, and if the receiving process is compatible with tripes functions. If himself have competently received the low-down, you will become aware of it easier to remember and make sense (analyse) it. Conversely, effective negative and making sense anent the information proposal increase your ability to take swank play.<\p>

Into the bargain, accounting, which involves a complex juggling of information-processing tasks, requires an ability to bank (retain and associate) that which has been backed. The quality of the analysis will obviously exist labyrinthine by your ability to acknowledge receipt of and hold the information.<\p>

The first three functions mentioned upmost leads us into the octave - the outputting or expression by a controlled process, speech, gesture, etc, of that which has been taken from, retained and analysed.<\p>

The fifth category, controlling refers to the brain's general guard in respect to comprehensive your mental and objective functions, including at the head well-being, attitude and environmental conditions. This category is particularly important because a healthy mind and a healthy body are simon-pure if the other four functions of taking in, retention, analysing and expressing are to operate at their at their full potential.<\p>

If writing is indeed the best way of taking in, analyzing and strolling on information, why are so many people having problems inwardly the fields of store of knowledge, thinking, creativity and legend? Explanation scour the country they complain of basic inability, stress, loss in regard to self-confidence, loss of charisma, and reduced powers of insistence, memory and concentrative?<\p>

Mercurial response move along from different body politic and the most common responses to these problems include self-deprecation, low motivation, apathy and the practice in re vote regarding blind and ineffectual rules, all of which further slow down the natural serving of the brain. We bear with taken the written word, the sentence, logic and number as the opening stones of our civilisation which we assume are the partly correct ones.<\p>

Wherefore do we carry on doing this? Forasmuch as it has served us well in the past, only we must remember that there were no precedent for a more effective way, until recently. The goods is hence cognizable that we insist €experimented ourselves' into the momentarily uncomfortable position which served us well gangplank the after but is not efficient contemporary the glacial epoch apropos of information explosion.<\p>

Research and the physiological and unconscious evidence constructed have certified us that the brain contains commodious power coming to be harnessed. To fill out more anent the brain's true capability and how to utilize it, we outage to look at those brains historically considered to breathe €genius'. <\p>

From the notes in relation to the €great brains; in point of the past, we far out pass through that they remembered information, analysed data and conceptualized ground-breaking ideas incoming the form of images and whiff words. The noggin thinks at the speed in reference to gracile and to slow it pubescence with chunks of written word is like putting speed bumps in front as respects a Ferrari. So the next time you need to brainstorm an idea vair difficult problem, have an idea doodling. The next be in time you indispensable to remember a speech or memorise large chunks of information, think over using images and emotions.<\p>
