15. Vince Poscente the author ofThe Age of Speed describes that increasing the speed for which we do things and absorb information is integral to surviving today and tomorrow. He also recognizes that demand and desire for speed has blurred the lines between work, home and play. This new environment has changed the paradigm of compartmentalized life.
16. They analyzed the *content* of the email messages and found that in fact employees with more diverse social networks did have access to more diverse information (as measured across the content of their email). We also found that this link - between network diversity and information diversity - explained productivity and performance differences: Workers with access to diverse information through diverse social networks generated more revenue, completed more projects and completed projects faster, controlling for a host of traditional demographic and human capital variables such as age, gender, education, industry experience etc.The paper can be found here:Aral, Sinan and Van Alstyne, Marshall W., "Network Structure & Information Advantage: Structural Determinants of Access to Novel Information and Their Performance Implications" (January 18, 2007).

19. This goes back to the idea that we break down the physical boundaries of time and physical locations. Information is fluid.http://www.flickr.com/photos/philhawksworth/2588299896/

21. Strategies for managing information and technology growthAdapted partially from Floyd Davenport’s Keeping Up With TechnologyFirst and foremost, relax. Don’t let technology overwhelm and stress you. There are over 100 million blogs covering thousands of different subjects, you can’t read them all. Studies have shown that up to 90% of software features go unused, don’t feel you have to learn them all. Recognize your own limitations and priorities and understand that you are not alone. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zunami/2283133585/ Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 GenericYou are free: to Share — to Remix — Under the following conditions: Attribution.

22. Strategies for managing information and technology growthAdapted from Floyd Davenport’s Keeping up with TechnologyStay curious. Embrace your inner child and don’t be afraid to play. People over the age of 25 didn’t grow up in the digital age so we can be out of our comfort zone when experimenting with new technologies. We like to understand what will happen before we press a button. Don’t be too quick to judge the value of a new service or technology until you have had a chance to experience it. Look for potential and be creative.http://www.flickr.com/photos/jerobins/2760299430/

24. Strategies for managing information and technology growthAdapted from Floyd Davenport’s Keeping Up With Technology by Floyd DavenportUse a “start page” service like Netvibes (http://www.netvibes.com/) or iGoogle (http://www.google.com/ig) to organize and review information. These easy to use services help you create your own “home” page and aggregate information and applications into one location. They list numerous resources which can keep you current on everything from the newest gadgets to the latest services in social media. Choose a couple of news services that Techmeme (http://www.techmeme.com/) that bring the latest news on technology.
25. Strategies for managing information and technology growthAdapted from Floyd Davenport’s Keeping Up With Technology by Floyd DavenportNetwork with your friends and colleagues. We can communicate, share information and engage with more people today than ever before. Take advantage of services like Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/) or Twitter (http://twitter.com/) and build relationships with individuals who share your interests. My personal favorite is Twitter for its portability and casual conversation. Don’t underestimate the power of networking. Your network can become the single most important filter for relevant information.www.flickr.com/photos/rambleon/2637714144/

27. Strategies for managing information and technology growthAdapted from Floyd Davenport’s Keeping Up With TechnologyParticipate and plan time to explore and learn. Easy to say and hard to do, but work at your own pace and set aside a reasonable amount of time given your individual priorities. flickr.com/photos/aafromaa/3027113461/in/set-72157608631840641/
