The Brain Pool
Ten years down the road the pile of information we call data grows deeper and wider across the digital expanse. The good, bad and ugly, ensconced in spinning platters all across the globe at the ready for some unsuspecting searcher to release those sectors which contain “the answer”.
Searches like spider bites, marketing plans and tooth decay render up tens of thousands of articles, but which one contains the few or the one, specific to the needs at hand. There begins the real chore; the analysis of all that information. We must read after all, and we are helped in that we now have a smaller pile. We wonder, is there a better way?
Yes there is a better way even though it may be a bit more costly than the free search on the internet. Enter the brain pool. The brain pool is where data meets intelligence and analysis. The brain pool comes in a variety of forms, crusader groups, committees, savvy individuals and the occasional genius. Some of these are online too but you still must find the ones who have the best answer.
The best solution to accessing the brain pool is face to face meeting usually brought about by presentations, conferences, meet-ups and the like. In oder to meet people who are able to understand things a search bar could dream of, it takes time, money, travel, hotels, meals and a few other odd expenses. Besides all the spinning platters the addition of skill, time, talent, research and brilliance, the brian pool can be accessed at these conferences.
So, if you’re looking for answers… —it’s hard to compete with a good mind.
