I have been thinking a lot about the importance of curated content. It just seems that with all that specialization of information, we are losing a sense of balance and context.

Our generation is obsessed with the facts. Every news organization prides itself in presenting the facts. Politicians pride themselves on being guided by facts. Yet facts alone do not equal truth. The formula for truth is:

F + C = T

Facts + Context = Truth

Curated content provides context to the information presented, be it an art exhibit or a series of news articles. And even if you disagree with those curating, it is a lot easier to understand what is being presented, knowing its context. Without context, the truth remains elusive, and the facts amount to noise.
