The power of information

On my last artictle I wrote about search engines (which are tools we use to search for information). These tools can range from search engines, meta-search engines and subject directories. The problem I have realised is many of us can not use these tools properly thus we end up getting irrelevent information in our searches. Having information lead to having knowledge which as IT Professionals is what we require the most. The society of today is knowledge productivity as compared to the previous one which I think was material productivity.

Every second the new innovation take place in an arround the World therefore as IT Professionals we need to be information sensitive to prevent being outdated. Newspapes, Magazines, Jaurnals and Internet are all sort of media we need to be in touch with.When searching on the Internet you need to be specific to avoid redudent information you don't need. You also need to be ideal with the engine to use so that you for instance you won't find your self using search engine where you were suppose to use meta-search engine or subject directory. When using search engine you need to specify your search within qoutation marks and on meta-search you need to capitise the first letter.
