Time to start the blog back up!
      A new class has asked me to come back to blogger. So this week's topic information overload. Is this a real concern for everyone of just those that dont want to get on board with the move foward with tech train.

       Imo i think this is a concern and a great happening all at once. The amount of info that is out there the newest of new is all really exciting might not be practical at this very second but the possibility of how fast tech is moving is great to me.
     The ones that are in overload are people who dont want to know more or dont know how to even get the info that they have no idea they are missing out on. Infomation overload can be helped with just understanding how to search on the internet then breaking down all this infomation slowly over time but the problem will rise agian when there is a major change in how info is gathered.
