We've left the Information Age and entered the Information Overload Age. The next wave of careers will probably be focused on repairing this problem by converting the information into knowledge - otherwise, the data is worthless. Think about this, we are generating such an abundance of data right now that human beings lost the capacity to keep up with it some time back. Systems (can you say "AI"?) will need to make this happen for us. If you intend to ride the next IT wave, I'd pay attention to artificial intelligence. Opinions anyone?
