Blackberries and iPhones are in use everywhere we go.  We can’t drive in a car without making a cell phone call or texting.  Will we no longer be able to go to a tropical island that has no cell towers and no electricity without feeling like we are being cheated of our important amenities?

Endless data keeps going back and forth among us – Google returns 2.92 million results in .37 of a second.

Do we have time to use more words than we use on a “tweet” in a face-to-face conversation?

The answer is we have learned how to adapt.  We know how to pick and choose among all of the messages bombarding us and other people mostly know how to filter and select messages coming from us (that’s not always a pleasant thing).  We can go with our society stimulated ADD or pay attention and focus on what we think is important.  Can we actually be “strong enough” to determine what combination of message paths we should pursue without being swayed by the strongest, loudest, most demanding message?

If we stop for a moment (do yoga, meditate, slow down or just plain stop) we can actually get a chance to integrate all of the messages and thoughts pinging around us and determine how we should navigate so we can get our information “just right” like Goldilocks in the house of the three bears.  We need to go with the “Goldilocks Principle” and find the combination and messages and media that’s “just right” for us.
