If an individual, generation or society becomes used to having information--from multiple sources, even--available at a near-instantaneous rate, will that decrease tolerance of uncertainty? It's not just a philosophical question: If a situation arises in which the available information is significantly less than the norm, will there be a corresponding paralysis of decision-making?
For all the talk about information overload and the distractions inherent in living on the grid, could adjusting the norms for how much information should be available add more or less "judgment" in the "judgment call"?
