Generation Information Overload?

November
24

Finally, someone else thinks there is such a thing as too much information—and I’m not talking about your best bud’s dating details.

Is it possible that we’re overindulging in an endless flow of sound bytes, YouTube clips, news articles and blog comments?

Time writer Michael Kinsley has asked the question I even wondered as I was starting this site. Seriously, how many blogs does the world need?

We’re fat on blogs.

I’m with you, Mike.  The overlapping, multiplication and seemingly originless and infinite info online leaves us in a post-modern dream sifting through what we actually know, what’s fluff and how the heck we know what we know.

Is it time for an information diet rather than consuming it all?
