digital noise: threat or opportunity
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this “visual” white paper is to explain how we help our clients achieve two key objectives which are – dealing with information overload and getting their messages through to the people who can benefit from receiving them. I chose the title because it captures the essence of the important conversation I am having with friends, family members and clients as we approach the midpoint of the twelfth year of the 21st Century.TRANSCRIPT

Such a clock is capable of indicating every possible time
of day. In contrast, a digital clock is capable of
representing only a finite number of times (every tenth of
a second, for example). In general, humans experience
the world analogically. { richer, you might say }
Vision, for example, is an analog experience because we
perceive infinitely smooth gradations of shapes and
colors. { Source: Webopedia.com }
DIGITAL describes any system based on discontinuous
data or events. Computers are digital machines
because at their most basic level they can distinguish
between just two values, 0 and 1, or off and on. There is
no simple way to represent ALL the values in between,
such as 0.25. All of the data a computer processes
must be encoded digitally, as a series of zeroes and
ones.
The opposite of digital is
ANALOG. A typical analog
device is a clock in which the
hands move continuously
around the face.

Information Overload is a term popularized by Alvin Toffler in
his bestselling 1970 book Future Shock. It refers to the
difficulty a person can have understanding an issue and making
decisions that can be caused by the presence of too much
information. The term itself is mentioned in a 1964 book by
Bertram Gross, The Managing of Organizations.
The term and concept precede the Internet and can be viewed
from a library and information sciences perspective or viewed
as a psychology phenomenon.
In psychology, information overload relates to an
overabundance of incoming information into the senses.
Toffler's explanation of it presents information overload as the
Information Age's version of sensory overload, a term that had
been introduced in the 1950s.
Sensory overload was thought to cause disorientation and
lack of responsiveness. Toffler positioned information overload
as having the same sorts of effects, but on the higher
cognitive functions. Toffler write…
When the individual is plunged into a fast and irregularly changing situation, or a
novelty-loaded context, his predictive accuracy plummets. He can no longer make
the reasonably correct assessments on which rational behavior is dependent.

1510 to 1514, Copernicus developed the first general outline of his
new heliocentric system
Copernicus began to write his book of De Revolutionibus about 1515.
A copy of the great work is believed to have been brought to
Copernicus at Frombork on the last day of his life when he died in a
coma on May 24, 1543. That is, he died without knowing the full
impact that his discovery would have on mankind.
The book was placed on the Catholic Church’s banned books list in
1635, which is when they acknowledged its existence.
The triumph of Copernicanism was a gradual process. Not until 1822
did the Catholic Church permit the printing of the book that treated
the earth's motion as physically real.
The next edition of De Revolutionibus was not published until 1854.
That is, not until after it had been removed from the Index in 1835.
The Catholic Church ordered GALILEO to recant his claim that Earth
orbits the Sun in 1633. His book on the subject was removed from
the Church’s index of banned books in 1824 Galileo was formally
vindicated by the Church in 1992.
