Information to Wisdom

The technology of today is astounding. Millions of archives are available for research at the click of a mouse and thousands of opinions are heard every minute at the update of a status. So what do we do with this power, we see how many people agree that it should be sunny or we watch fruit with superimposed mouths say really annoying things. Elder Dallin H. Oaks in his talk entitled "Focus and Priorities" teaches us that "[O]ur biggest need is a clearer focus on how we should value and use what we already have." Vast amounts of information exists, and programs have been written to help process it all, but it is time for us to do something astounding with all that information. To do this we must reverse T.S. Elliot's famous saying and turn our information into knowledge, and our knowledge into wisdom. For only with wisdom, can correct decisions be made.
