Being Bored Is Good

There is definitely too much sensation and information for me these days. When I was a kid and being a natural geek I had so little technical literature in the house that I used to pore over it. I'd read my computer magazines cover to cover until I virtually memorised the whole thing.

These days, I don't even know where to start. It's terrifying! I'm moving to the country soon to get away from the overload.

This is a topic I've been pondering lately. Even looking around the internet for technical information/assistance has become harder due to all of the information that is now out there. How can we find sources or information that are truly meaningful and provide great value, rather than just mediocre or non at all?

I think there could be a real opportunity for a hand-curated search tool that addresses this need.

Are we going back to the Yahoo! days ?

It won't help. The information follows you. Maybe the sensation is a little less, though, which may help. Good luck.

I think the answer is to stick with a few problems rather than trying to consume or know everything.
