About this Quote

This quote by Ruben Blades is a warning about the threats of having access to a huge quantity of information without the capability to analyze it properly. In today's world, we have access to more details than ever in the past, however without the ability to analyze it correctly, it can be hazardous. We can end up being so concentrated on the truths and figures that we forget to look at the larger image. We can end up being so overwhelmed by the large amount of details that we don't make the effort to believe seriously about it. We can become so reliant on technology that we forget to utilize our own judgement. This quote is a reminder that having access to information is insufficient; we should also have the ability to translate it properly in order to make educated choices.
