Many people believe we are still in the Information Age.  What they do not realize is that people are drowning in too much information to the point where they are easily overwhelmed.  Anyone who wants to test this can look up almost any search term on Google to experience the feeling of information overload. What people are really looking for is not the information, but what results the information will give them.  With too much of a good thing ready at hand, what they want is a trusted guide to go beyond facts and figures to provide a recommendation.  They want advice, easy answers, and a shortcut to the answers they seek.
