This technology benefits users by exposing patterns and trends in the torrent of data they work with daily, so the most important information becomes automatically visible."</i><br /><br />This is an interesting read about something most of us deal with everyday. The bombardment of information we receive and how to absorb it can become a big problem for us at times. Of course one way to solve this issue is to just go live in the woods but what fun would that be? :lol:
