First Responder Overload

You know the term 'feeding the trout', the act of somehow keeping everyone abreast of trends, is an impossible task. Having been privy to the making of one trend in no way prepares one to see the problems of the next. I'm not really sure whether this is because the next big thing is simply the outcome of hindsight or it is just human nature to proclaim ground-breaking work as the final solution there by preventing the next big thing. The younger generations who are all to eager to ride their own wave of experiences will discover answers yet to be thought about.

Trying to keep up with the latest technologies that surround us are primed and pumped to compound our sensory overload. I secretly wish the next big thing could be the elimination of system crashes, tedious down and uploading problems, missing links, incompatibility and stylistic design restrictions. When it means the most to me is when the communication is brief, simple, urgent. The advantage of multilevel, interactive, hypertextual and audiovisual forms of communication require a sophisticated thought process that are the birthright of all humans.
