The internet affords us opportunities to provide thoughts, ideas, information, content, anything we desire in words, video, audio formats. Awesome, when we treat it with respect and add value.
On the other hand, destructive, not good, when we abuse it by adding junk, lies, misrepresentations, destructive information, just idle chatter that’s meaningless and takes up space…many more useless and destructive uses are out there than stated here.

How to Add Value

So let’s respect the value of the internet and use it to add value for everyone. It’s combination of my own and others ideas.

1. Post links of interesting info in real time. Add value, not more ‘internet noise’.
2. Chat rooms are great way to share challenges, issues, and problems, gain insight and knowledge from other people to solve challenges or expand your knowledge.
3. When messages are intended for one or few people you know, send via email or direct messages only to them. This really helps to keep minutia and inconsequential, useless info out of mainstream social media.
4. When attend events in person or online, share the significant bits of wisdom with all of us.
5. Keep in touch with what’s going on in the world by reading and listening to others. You will find useful, good for your personal and business life.
6. You can use it to drive traffic to your other sites, like your blog. But do this within reason because excess referrals will turn potential readers and customers away.

I don’t have specific stats on how many users on the internet, it’s many billions. If each of us posts on the net just one time every day, imagine the accumulated number of items to view or read…staggering, impossible to keep up, maybe will even clog up the whole internet system one day.

We all have too little time to do what we need to do, are overwhelmed with the amount of messages and info we seek, hear and read every day.

Help Yourself and Everyone This Way Too
We can help ourselves and everyone on the internet gain more time and reduce overwhelm, keep the internet tool as a valuable and useful. How? Very simple and easy.

Let’s limit what we place on the internet. Here’s one idea that can make a monumental improvement.

Do: Post only occasional, rare personal discussions, info, and details like what had for dinner, car broke down, had coffee with friend. Occasional brief personal info helps to make you real, like one of us, I understand that. However, other than an occasional post, share these thoughts, incidentals via personal email to those people who you feel may be interested.

Do: There are times personal detail and minutia can be of value. Tie the incident into a life lesson you learn, or a way to experience positive and productive results………….and many other things. You get the idea. Share with us value, and help us eliminate excess noise.

What other ideas do you have? I appreciate your thoughts and comments.
