Introduction

More likely , Information Technology comprises of the wide array of choices in sending information to others using technology or gadgets invented through technology such as the telephone , television and no the computers using the Internet . Of course , all of us need to be well-informed , but having vast amounts of information does not necessarily educate us in the true sense , for much of what parades as information is nothing more than bare facts or raw data , unrelated to our experience . Some even suggest that

instead of the information explosion ' this phenomenon might best be termed the data explosion or even more cynically the non-information explosion ' This is how economic analyst Hazel Henderson sees it : Information itself does not enlighten . We cannot clarify what is mis-information , dis-information or propaganda in this media-dominated environment . Focusing on mere information has led to overload of ever-less-meaningful billions of bits of fragmented raw data , rather than the search for meaningful new patterns of knowledge

Yes , as we could see , not everyone is that overwhelmed or even amiable to the developments brought about by Information technology . It is as if behind all the said advancements , several other more problems began to arrive .

Klapp gives his analysis : I suspect that no one knows how much of the supply of public communication is pseudo-information which purports to tell something but in fact tells nothing (Awake 15

If not controlled carefully , devotion to acquiring additional information can cost much in terms of time , sleep , health , and even money . For although more information does offer greater choices , it can make the searcher anxious , wondering whether he has checked or accessed all the information available . Dr . Hugh MacKay offers this caution : In fact , information is no pathway to enlightenment . Information , of itself , sheds no light on the meaning of our lives . Information has very little to do with the getting of wisdom . Indeed , like other possessions it can positively get in the way of wisdom . We can know too much , just as we can have too much (Awake ! 18
