Times, they are a changin’, as Nobel Prize winning singer Bob Dylan wrote and the pace of change is rapid with mountains of unstructured information.

Alec Ross is a best selling author on Technology and he says the amount of information produced will not lessen and the task will be to structure all that information to better our lives.
