Information Explosion
Nowadays, we are always facing with the information explosions. Actually, information explosion is the large amount of available information that is produced everyday and it is published in our society by varieties of medium and in all fields of our life. From days to days, information explosion has led up to the information overload. Information overload can cause people whose suffers from it become stress, worried, tired, disappointed, less ability to concentrate, feels overwhelmed and overburdened, and lessen the people productivity. University of California at Berkeley’s School of Information has made researched about information explosion. According to them, human has produced more information in the last 30

This is because; new information will be produced by individuals when they are acquainted with knowledge by reading and writing and then master in both of it. So that, many new information will produced everyday caused by this case.
2.2 INCREASED IN NUMBER OF SCHOLARS
Scholar plays the role as a one who will create the information using their creativity, device to a new methods, recognize the ideas that exist in this word, and offer the best solutions to a familiar problem that faced by communities. In addition, they also set up a new standard in science and technology, in literature, fine arts, business, in industry, and social that has the relationship with leadership. So, society nature’s gift of talent will stagnate and then, it become perishing. This increasing can be seen in 1800, which there were 1,000 scientists and engineers in the world which increased to 10,000 in 1850 and in 1900, it still increase to 100,000. In 1950s, the numbers rose to one million. It is this ever increasing number of scientists that accounts for the rapid increasing of published materials.
2.3 INCREASED IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Information explosion also affected by increased of research and development activities. Until today, the funds in field of research have changed in their scale and level. It has changed the significant of research become mission-oriented, multidisciplinary and believed a matrix managed character.
2.4 EXPANDING
Every word written or read is a chance to better yourself or someone else. Our words carry an enormous significance with them. Even if a person doesn’t enjoy reading or writing, they can not deny that fact. I bring this up because reading and writing has shaped me into the person I am today. So it is no surprise that I am willing to rant about how great reading and writing can be.
The significance of learning to read and write is the ability for a person to express themselves to others by communicating vocally or through writing. The communication needs to be of substance in order for it to mean anything. Reading induces the ability to learn information one did not previously know. With ability of new words and their meaning within your arsenal, gives you the ability to attack or defend your point of view. With these supporting capabilities it enables you to take and stand for what you believe and want to express.
In John M. Barry’s “The Great Influenza” he states, “All real scientists exist on the frontier”(Barry 23). During the 1918 influenza epidemic Barry wrote “The Great Influenza” to describe the research that was happening revolving influenza. He describes different characteristic the scientist had to have researching the flu. He recognized the challenges that came with it. He also believes that if you are a scientist that you must be courageous to accept the uncertainty that comes with the job. “The Great Influenza” written by John M. Barry utilizes metaphors and descriptive diction to analyze the characteristics regarding scientist.
The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were a period of many changes in world of sciences. Usually the philosophes and researchers of the sciences were either supported or reprimanded by many aspects of life in these centuries. The work of scientists was affected by governments promoting, but also preventing, research of the sciences, religious bodies promoting or condemning the outcomes of experiments and theories and even merging outcomes to religious ideas, and also new relationships between scientists across Europe, but also with a neglect of women.
Science has had a huge impact on society in the past few centuries with medicines curing disastrous diseases and the growing
Moreover, we must make sure the research and development department have enough funds to operate. In order to act as a science resource centre for the government, the R&D department needs to do a lot of researches and these researches require a huge amount of money.
Information is the key to any organization in the world today; it is what makes an organization successful, accurate and proficient in an increasingly competitive market. Without information a company is powerless, it does not know its customer or understand them,
The world is not a cultivating place for scientists. Victor Frankenstein in Frankenstein; or a Modern Prometheus and Will Rodman, from Rise of the Planet of the Apes, are met with constant opposition to their studies and goals. The current state of scientific research is embodied in both these works. Both protagonists are restricted creatively and shunned by their peers. And if a scientist does not succeed or make a new and benefiting discovery, they are shunned even more and judged by society.
When people speak to one another they usually do so very rapidly, and subconsciously. The opposite can be said of writing as it is more slow, and deliberate, often requiring intense thought. As demonstrated already in English 101 it is necessary to visualize, plan, and draft while writing. The principles of oration were separate from those of writing until the Age of Information, with the development of modern technology. The proverbial gap was abridged with texting. It allowed writing to catch up to the speed of speaking. Unfortunately while it did match the speed, it took away formalities used in writing such as spelling, punctuation, and using capital letters.
One was the political organization of a society. Some societies, such as ones with crowded and significantly larger populations, had a greater need to have a stored record of information compared to smaller societies, such as records and accounts of trade and storage. In fact, according to Diamond, early writings were only things like records, archives, or transactions. Things like prose and propaganda did not begin until hundred of years later. Another factor was the geographic boundaries that kept writing from being spread throughout the world. Writing was a process which took the course of many many years to fully develop, let alone teach to others. These obstacles made spreading reading or writing to other societies much more difficult. A final factor was the small number of people who were actually taught to read, write, or teach in societies that had accomplished the ability to do so. According to Diamond, in the past, only scribes aiding kings or temples were common, and writing was not common to the
Information overload in my opinion is here to stay, it is always compounding. It just takes adjustment to our technical and social systems. There are times, I recall using oversized status boards to display the status of aircraft. There were creative ideas being accomplished socially and we were able to input additional information and this led to having to build and adapt to the status boards getting larger and larger. Due time would change all of this data being displayed on the status boards and eventually we had to advance to the technical systems of the time. This update to inputting data into a computer presented challenges socially in the organization. There were costs for some of the
Writing is taken for granted nowadays. Thus, people don't take in consideration how lucky they are to be able to read and write. I can still vividly remember how when I was very young I used to get extremely angry for not being able to read the newspaper that my grandfather used to carry around. For that reason, there is a lot of importance to reading and writing, and I'm glad that throughout this year I was able to grow as a writer.
From the ancient Greeks to present day American scientists they have used the power of science to further the lives of all mankind. For thousands of years science has proved to make life easier and to further our own understandings of how the world works. Science has proven to improve our own well being through the enhancement medicines and the thorough knowledge of the human body. Diseases have been beaten back by the great efforts of science and human life extended to its limit. Many great people have and will contribute to the growth of science to increase the comfort and life of mankind not for selfish gain but for the knowledge of bettering the world.
Through his research, the author gradually found that other people may be in the same situation as he is since their thinking pattern could only adapt to the instant, compendious messages and information whose literal meaning is in internet form. People have therefore started to depend more on the internet for information
In conclusion, writing and reading can’t be created in vain, there was a fine good reason behind it and of course it was to help the humanity acknowledge life
