The Internet has piled massive amount of data and information about almost everything known in human history, only in the span of 5.000 days. Internet also has becoming ubiquitous, from mainframes, PCs, handhelds and RFIDs (Radio Frequency ID). In short, information is now within anybody’s reach and it will be getting closer.
The challenge people faced today is not getting access to information, thanks to Internet and devices, but in finding the right and relevant information that they really need. People are drowned in the flood of information; they are trapped in thick of thin things, information that is useless: garbage in, garbage out. People need data and information that serves as knowledge. It is like finding a needle in haystack.
