LISTEN NOW! Greg, John, and Pat discuss the key to surviving the information overload with information doubling every 12 years. Today many are passing out over the incredible amount of information in which they come in contact with on a daily basis. They continue to discuss how recent research from CBS News has proven that when the brain knows it’s being overloaded it has a built in mechanism that releases phantom pain to the body and in some known cases to the back. It has been reported during the 1900’s information doubled every 100 years now every 18 months. They continue to share how today there is so much technology that is collecting data in connection with almost everything we do. Your brain has to submit to God. They continued to discuss the NSA, National Security Agencies, facility in Utah according to “The Blaze” which stores a lot of data from all over the world such as phone conversations, texts, computer data and so much more. In terms of how much data they can actually have room to store we need to understand some of the words used for data measurement such as megabyte, gigabytes, terabyte, petabyte, and presently Exabyte. In order to get a grid for the size and sheer volume of the NSA’s storage capabilities they discus that 1 Exabyte is equivalent to the diameter of the sun. According to “The Blaze” you can fit 1.3 million earths in the sun and in terms of “suns” storage capability NSA has 5,000; conclusion they have everything. They encourage us to remember that our awareness of this reality and the fact that knowledge will increase does not have to defeat us if we understand the key to surviving this is Godly wisdom. Proverbs 4:5-6 “Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.” Get wisdom to get understanding.
