Paleolithic drawings and carvings in the caves of Lascaux, France. Discovered in 1940.
Over 20,000 years ago, we began recording information about the world around us …

And we continue this today at an exponential rate
Examples of data generated every minute:
“Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data – so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone.” http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/bigdata/

The solution: “…having the skills to focus your information gathering efforts (better search tools?), so you can then capture, organise, adapt, retain, recall (store and preserve?) and apply the information you manage so you can achieve your goals faster and with less stress.” http://www.mindwerx.com/articles/information-overload-never-ending-story-stress
“Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized, processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit.” - William G. Pollard (1911-1989), American Physicist

A couple more anecdotal examples…
MSL Engineers looked under every rock for Viking backshell test data. Fortunately, a retired Viking engineer had the data they were looking for in his garage.
A few years ago a climate scientist was looking for science data from an older satellite for a comparative study. Turns out the data was never archived. These days, NASA has a requirement to archive science data.
