Information As a Resource(information obesity)

Information ahhh, what makes us smarter information but can we have to much information? that is the question. The article that was distributed in class mentioned something called Information ObeSiTy. SOoooo i will blog it up about that today. Information to me,Nickel, is just an overwhelming amount of information givin at one time that is different and or not correct. This could be if you were typing a paper and you used MSU libraries database,google, wikipedia and your 80yr old grandpa to talk about WWII. Now you might think that this is great you have tons of information, but how do you know that your grandpa is crazy and telling you false information or that wikipedia is completly wrong...maybe your grandpa wrote on it.haha. ok but seriously its like having an overload of information. so how do you keep away from information obesity? just pick 1 or maybe 2 sources to start off with. Not just any resource but a reputable resource such as your local library or a well known published book. dont get it twisted get yo info str*~Nickel
