Technology and our knowledge base is advancing exponentially. Will it not reach a point at some time when we will get totally lost in it all? Like in an immense jungle.. Will we need some new way of sorting information? Or do we already have strategies we can use?

i think we will cope just as we have in the past, by adjusting,,,,, no i dont think we will get lost in either technology nor knowledge, we will find new things to explore, or go back and reexplore some old ones,,,,, i think the computer will remain to play a large role in our sorting and storage of information,,,,,,,, and just like now, we will start to decide which information is important to us, which we want to sort and store away for possible future use,,,,,, and what do we save just because maybe, maybe one day we might need it,,,,,,, so no i dont see a jungle,,,,, no more so then our current mail folders,,, (omg maybe that is a jungle lol i have so much stored in there,,,, i dont even recognize what it is or why i saved it, sometimes,)

If an individual already has a mindset, they will never change. Future is already here, and we have people lost in thought, everyday ritual, constant work, failed communication that lack intelligent criticism as being effective. We are jungle- welcome; Guns-n-Roses wrote Appetite for Destruction, they're right. Information is key and whoever holds it, will not be ready or forthcoming to share, they'll retort inward. The only strategy I see is understanding comprehensionable energies, which everyone has but don't utilize- the human mind is a wonderful tool and should be the ultimate weapon and housing compartment.
Great question! I love it.

there are many small rays of hope:
each is the heart of someones informational in a given subject of a book on some page will have the answer: when u get to this page it will have the information u needed twenty years ago. so from now on do not pick up and read anything on projections that is over six months out of date. as the 1996 book on "the best kept $ecret in America" William, A. Stanmeyer,J.D.it covers the u need to access a "mentor", think tanks(big brother)-is driving the market place back home, how to survive with a net work marketing business, to cause and generate repeat monthly billings to make your net worth vialable out there today, covers the magnitude of the dinosaur of industry and corporations as a work place, a little something for the dark side of who turned the lights off

Eventually, yes, we will need new ways of going through information. The nice thing is, we'll have them. I expect that within the next 50 years humans will start augmenting their brains with cybernetic implants, and within a few centuries at most we will be entirely mechanical, if not something even higher than mechanical. With new bodies we will be able to process information much more quickly than we can right now.

They wont. With all this high tech we still cant cure any sickness.
But we sure can talk better and watch more and listen better.
Most all of the technology is for entertainment. In the future it will be the same as it is now. Cant do anything but we are sure entertained.

We as a race will adapt as we have always done. The possible future you are imagining is so far removed from the reality of our current here and now it would be foolish to attempt any other answer.

Of course! We are humans! We have learned to live in the ice age, make new inventions, etc. etc. So of course we'll be able to adapt in the future. Why would we be lost in something we made?

The only way we know how , by creating more wars to turn ourselves back in civilization, until we reach the start of the eternal loop we call life. What are we doing to our world!!!!!!!

Humans have been dealing with it since evolution...a process that has apparently bypassed you.
