Information powers the 21st century

There are so many concepts we try to embrace as we begin our journey into the 21st century. But I don’t think any one is as important as our quest for more information.

We now use an increasing variety of sources for that information. In fact, some of us too often find we’re on information overload. It’s like that old computer error message that tells us our hard drive is full and we can’t save another document.

But while some of us question the quality, not the quantity, of information that’s now available to us from a variety of sources, I’m not going to focus on the unregulated Internet content or Web sites.

No matter what device we use to gather information, many of us are still trying to learn more about how we can use the information that’s so freely available. Our Controls and Integration section is a good example.

In the last couple of years, this section has reported on a variety of applications, many of them with our friends from Hershey. And we’re back there again, as PW reports on the many ways that networks can assist packagers in understanding what’s going on with packaging lines.
