    We used to know how to know. We got our answers from books or experts. We'd nail down the facts and move on. But in the Internet age, knowledge has moved onto networks. There's more knowledge than ever, of course, but it's different. Topics have no boundaries, and nobody agrees on anything.Yet this is the greatest time in history to be a knowledge seeker - if you know how.

    Story

    Every wonder why we've seen such a rise of Facebook and other micro-blogging technologies? Ever wonder why we are seeing major differences in how children and young adults are dealing with new technologies? We are seeing a "sea change" event as the amount of information available to us rapidly exceeds our ability to use it. Worse yet, standard institutions that would allow us to better manage that information flow are themselves overwhelmed. We all see the change. But do we understand WHY it is happening and what are the ramifications. THAT is what this book attempts to tackle. Hopefully you will also find this book insightful.
