Each year more books, newspapers,     ³³    and magazines are published than anyone can possibly read.                ³³    Information grows by specialization.  Details are magnified.  As          ³³    specialization increases perspective decreases - we learn more about      ³³    less.  The information explosion causes a content implosion.              ³³                                                                              ³³    This flood of information causes us to move from monthly to weekly to     ³³    daily to hourly in our effort to stay current.  As our definition of      ³³    timeliness shrinks, that of untimeliness expands.  The timeless is        ³³    sacrificed on the altar of the transitory.  Society suffers.              ³³                                                                              ³³    Fortunately all things contain the seed of their opposites.  The same     ³³    sun that hardens clay softens wax.  Lifemaps uses time to wash away       ³³    the superficial and leave the substantial; just as a river's current      ³³    carries away a leaf that floats, but leaves a pearl that sinks.  When     ³³    content becomes sufficiently concentrated then both understanding and     ³³    duration are increased.  Society benefits.                                ³ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s”0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s 0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s0s
