We lived in the Age of Information. Whoever has most informations, most accurate or latest information, and know how to use the informations like nobody else. He can rise in power.
In Ancient times, if anyone who have the knowledge of accurate astronomy or calender information, he can predict cosmic events such as meteor shower, eclipse. Normal people will awe of the person prediction skill and give them high ranks and think they are favor by Gods. Having higher education and wisdom, you command higher power. Students don't know answer, they pay money to teacher to teach them. Teachers, Doctors, Professors, Inventors, Writers. They change the world with their knowledge and creativity.
With the power of Internet, the ultimate platform for accelerating the flow of information. This generation has a pool of shared knowledge like wikipedia. But many information in Internet can be misleading, inaccurate. So if one day you see people saying JJ is a flirt, they are NOT refering to me but the singer and if you see people say JJ is talented, they are NOT refering to the singer but to me :D.
Although online information are more 'fresh' compare to newspaper and radio. We have to spent lot and lot of time to filter them. In the end, no one care, we just use information online and assume they are the fact.
Let say one day, I create lot of information saying there dark cloud in the sky are the products of gather substances cause by smokers,vehicles,factories and human evil thoughts. Water that fall from the dark clouds is actually the Earth's Tear.
By making my information appear on wiki and first three pages of google search, people get confuse then give up and accept it as fact.
When people start complaining why weather so hot, I simply reply that Earth have give up on human race and decide to stop crying and get real angry. The only solution to this, is to say more jokes and make Earth laugh until cry.
Based on Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats, there are six different kinds of information.
Questions (White)
- considering purely what information is available, what are the facts?
Emotions (Red)
- instinctive gut reaction or statements of emotional feeling (but not any justification)
Bad points judgment (Black)
- logic applied to identifying flaws or barriers, seeking mismatch
Good points judgment (Yellow)
- logic applied to identifying benefits, seeking harmony
Creativity (Green)
- statements of provocation and investigation, seeing where a thought goes
Thinking (Blue)
- thinking about thinking
Anyway below is the diagram of a small of potion of our Internet map, quite pretty hor.
