Okay, so I noticed that the easiest way to write these blog posts is just repeating what we were taught in class. To be honest, I hate doing that because I feel like a parrot (hence, the quote from Jimmy Eat World"). So, I am going a different route this week.
After the presentation with Ms. Camacho, I realized there is such a thing as too much information. Yes, all those resources have their place and can be highly valuable. But, oftentimes, the resources we have available far, far exceed what we could possibly need for our purposes as students, future employees, or business leaders. What we need is not more information, what we need is to better understand the information we do have.
So, here is a proposal for you, Professor Middleton (or whomever may read this): Next semester, instead of training on how to get information, help us understand how to tear apart the information we have to make decisions and recommendations. To be perfectly frank, computers can search for information and regurgitate it. The essence of being human is acting and thinking; something computers will never be able to do.
By the way, this is in no way a criticism of the class, Ms. Camacho, or Professor Middleton. Just some candid thoughts from a vocal student.
Rock on.
Nyal
PS- Here is the song, y'all!! Enjoy, it is one of my favorites.
