"We have entered an age of constant conflict. Information is at once our
core commodity and the most destabilizing factor of our time. Until now,
history has been a quest to acquire information; today, the challenge lies
in managing information. Those of us who can sort, digest, synthesize, and
apply relevant knowledge soar--professionally, financially, politically,
militarily, and socially. We, the winners, are a minority.

For the world masses, devastated by information they cannot manage or
effectively interpret, life is "nasty, brutish . . . and short-circuited."
The general pace of change is overwhelming, and information is both the
motor and signifier of change."
