Information Overload.

The world is big. Have you ever noticed that? I mean really, really huge. Not just the world, but the number of people in it. And so many of these people are writing, making music, making art, posting blogs (like this) . . . it gets a little overwhelming. How do you cut through all the millions and millions of voices in the world to find the ones you really want to hear? There are so many great independent musicians out there, but how do you cut through the static to find the ones you really want to hear? It's not about quality anymore, and just finding highly rated artists or writers or what have you . . . the volume is so great that even among the best of the best, there are still so many choices that unless you have the luxury of spending all day searching, you still might never connect with those really great ones who are out there. Forget about finding artists . . . just finding people--friends, lovers, whatever--you'd get along best with is an immense task. There are more choices than ever before in the history of civilization, but that just makes the the act of finding all the more difficult. It's a daunting world we live in. The potential is amazing, but how do we make the best possible use of it? I wish I knew the answer.
