Description

In the modern age, there has been an explosion of information - and an ability for the average person to keep up. For the first time in human history, we are approaching a world with trillions of networked nodes; the amount of information is doubling every year and accelerating every second. And yet, as we stand before this growing mountain of complexity, our brains are no larger than our grandfathers\'. Luckilym while civilization has never faced such an unprecedented challenge, nature has.
