What is the Real Threat of Information Explosion?

Author

  • Petr Strossa

Abstract

The text is devoted to a consideration of the "information explosion" phenomenon. The exponential growth of publications is compared to the (similarly exponential) growth of population, especially in the countries where most of the publications are created. The increasing tertiary education gross enrolment ratio (naturally associated with involvement in the publication process) is also taken into account. The text comes to a conclusion that either the exponential growth of publications must decrease its base value in our future, or we are heading towards a time point where an increasing number of publications find no readers (if that point is not yet behind us).
