He also points out that today, as we’re drowning in information, “context” is critical. “When you get an answer on Google, the notion of that answer coming from an authoritative base no longer matters that much—because there are so many authorities,” he says. “To use <author> David Weinberger’s phrase, there is ‘too much to know’—and so what really matters is your ability to triangulate, to look at something from multiple sources, and construct your own warrants for what you want to believe.” And that may involve “asking all kinds of peripheral questions,” Brown notes, such as, What is the agenda behind this information? Can it be trusted? Is it current, and still relevant? How does it connect with other information I’m finding? To use Brown’s words, “the context dominates the content.”
