THE INFORMATION VIEW

A small proportion of the world’s information is now paper based. With the growth of the internet, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), digital resources, social media and collaborative platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, the volume of available data and information is growing at an astounding rate. A staggering amount of new information and data is generated and created on an hourly basis, and this rate of generation is set to continue and to accelerate.
