4.1: If you got it, let me have it.

Technostress. Is this for real? People are stressed out by having too much information? Can there be such a thing?

I believe it was Sir Frances Bacon that said, "Knowledge is Power," and I can only imagine what he would have to say about "technostress." I, too, was blown away by the amount of information that is going up on the web daily but do not find myself wading in stress trying to access it. In fact, I think we need more information, specifically focusing on ways to navigate the system to efficiently and effectively find what we need. Volume isn't the problem, it's accuracy.

Now that every amateur writer has access to global publishing, including this blog, we find the marketplace of ideas littered with garbage (my interpretation of garbage is completely subjective). Nelson offers a list of tools for better searching that, unfortunately, is outdated. I would be interested in learning what is currently available so I can become an empowered ICT user rather than being held "hostage" by the World Wide Web.

In addition, I am curious about the "Deep Web" and am hoping for more information.
