Access & Excess Information

I am currently doing research on the ways that programming & machine learning can generate a multitude of new ideas, that normally would be limited by a slower thought process, of us humans (vs a speed of a machine), or not as accessible to most people who don't "speak" those languages.

Now, because of the internet and open-source technologies, there’s more access then there ever was in a variety of fields.

Different programs allow you to create things without needing to know how to code. Which adds to the variety of people from different disciplines and different backgrounds, who can gain access to information that was previously beyond their reach.

Whether in how things are visually and textually represented, using better ui (user interface) design, or just the shear amount of information that exists online to discover & self learn.

This quick access that currently exists online, of retrieving information, allows us to develop our thought process way quicker then once we were able to. Yet there are still certain barriers that exist within these flood gates of online access to information.

In other words, there is excess information now that one has to deal with, which creats it’s own set of barriers.

Once you have all this excess, comes the challange of sorting through informtaion in a way that can be of use, whether in the long or short term.

In order for there to be any value gained from this exchange, that is beyond the quantity of information, there needs to be an added value, which this access to information was intend for in the first place.
