rant on data.

I feel like for every useful piece of "information" someone "creates" that there are 50 pieces of useless, bullshit "information" clogging up the pipelines. I get pissed off everyday when I see how much of this useless information is printed out, sorted, distributed, sorted again, passed out, glanced at and then thrown in the garbage can. (I'm not even going to get started about why it looks like more people throw this endless amount of paper into the garbage instead of the recycle bins that are all over the place...) How much of this process is a complete and total waste of energy that could be better spent on any number of more worthwile goals?
