Information used to be scarce. Now, access to information is relatively cheap, and generating more of it is becoming cheap too.
That changes the problem.
The challenge is no longer simply finding information. It is deciding what deserves attention.
This is why I think we are moving into an Age of Curation.
Curation means choosing what to keep, what to ignore, what to emphasize, and what to show others. As information becomes abundant, judgment becomes more valuable.
In that environment, subtraction becomes more important than addition.
More information does not always create more understanding. More options do not always create more clarity. Often, the useful act is removing noise until the important thing becomes visible.
The defining question shifts from:
What can I add?
to:
What is worth keeping?
