communication

We live in a world where people expect to know everything, and that information be gathered for and presented to them. Yet we live in a world where there is such information overload that people ignore most of what they receive, see and hear. People who don't pay attention, or understand all potential implications of fact or issue are responsible for their own ignorance. We expect to be given information on a metaphorical platter, but even when the platter is clearly in front of us, we expect to then have the meat of it cut, seasoned, fed to us, and at times even masticated.

It all perplexes me, frustrates me, and frightens me.
