Managing Information Overload

Many ICT tools have been created to help in dealing with the information explosion. Spreadsheets, data mining tools and simulation software can all help in decision making.

A spreadsheet is a computer application that simulates a paper worksheet.

Data mining is the process of sorting through large amounts of data and picking out relevant information.

Simulation software is essentially a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program.
