Managing Information in the 21st Century

Recently me and my brother were talking about how our attention span has gone shorter since high school! We used to be able to listen to the priest's sermon attentively and remember all the things he said in one go; now we cannot even finish listen to it!So we realized that our world has changed into a really fast-paced era, which offers too much information until we will not be able to handle them if we do not filter some of them.

Basically, every moment of our lives, we are receiving new information!!
Wake up in the morning, we check our phones for updates on Whatsapp, Emails and social medias. After showering, we read the newspapers, watch television, meet friends in our school or workplace, we talk about various topics.

We got to learn how to manage these information or else they will blind ourselves from the right direction of our lives! It's good to be exposed to more things, to gain more knowledge on various events and facts. However, we need to filter the unnecessary information from entering our minds! When we have too much information in our minds, we cannot digest them and we do not have time to quiet down and actually think as well!



Now, I do enjoy some quiet time alone anywhere and anytime of the day, just to think and pray to God. It really helps me to organize the things in my mind and calm myself down and look at things happening really fast in my life. :)
