i agree with marshaegan01 regarding “Turn the dang ding off! ”
let the call go into vm, that’s what it’s there for. apple has given us visual vm so we can prioritize that aspect of technology. my point is that, when one finds it necessary to search for data, why not try to develop a tool that will produce relevant information… we need to find ways to selectively use our technology tools rather than use all of them all of the time. we have paperless environments and paper back ups! this is silly. most people are too timid to commit to a path that eliminates redundancy… when we find a tool that fixes a problem, it is imperative (assuming one seeks efficiency) to eliminate the old tool and not use both in tandem

Interesting. Two solutions are being proposed that are exact opposites and contradictory.
marshaegan01 is suggesting we should own our life rather than technology owning us. David is suggesting technology (Semantic Web and Artificial Intelligence) is the answer. Quite Contradictory solutions? Or are they the same?

when we find that we have a problem, we often look for more data. we ask more questions which leads to more questions. scholars will sometimes deem certain questions “no longer useful.”

it has becomes important to find a way to mine huge amounts of data for more applicable or precise information:

4. Large amounts of historical information to dig through.

semantic data mining seems promising if it can be developed to the point of AI. if it can not, it will simply be more meta tags in a sea of data. but at least we have tried to walk a path to cessation of suffering. action may not necessarily lead to happiness but without action there can be no happiness

David – Thank you for your comments.
I am not sure how your single statement “Life is suffering” applies to the topic I am discussing. There was a lot of suffering when Buddha discovered this first noble truth. However, I am not sure if information overload was one of them.

Even though your statement seems pessimistic, I am sure it will lead us to some solution.

Buddha taught us four noble truths:
1. Life means suffering.
2. The origin of suffering is attachment.
3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.
4. The path to the cessation of suffering.

In simple terms, there is suffering, there is a root cause for suffering, there is an end of suffering, and there is a path that puts an end to suffering. These four truths, taken as a whole form a practical problem-solving approach. This means you first identify a problem and then look for its root cause. Next, you put an end to the problem by eliminating the root cause.

Only time will tell if semantic web will mitigate or boost information overload burden.

Since the mid-1970s, researchers in the field of artificial intelligence have recognized that capturing knowledge is the key to building large and powerful AI systems. AI researchers argued that they could create new ontologies as computational models that enable certain kinds of automated reasoning. In the 1980s, the AI community began to use the term ontology to refer to both a theory of a modeled world and a component of knowledge systems. Some researchers, drawing inspiration from philosophical ontologies, viewed computational ontology as a kind of applied philosophy.[6]

“semantic web” can potentially mitigate some of the information overload burden
