Stop Drinking From the Firehose: Five Easy Cures for Information Overload
Face it: we're drowning in information. There's too much to do and see every day. Our brains are already busy in the background, filtering mundane sensory information; few take it into account, but in the
modern world, even that's already in overload. There's so much more to experience in a modern town, in a modern nation, than there was when we lived in rural or woodland environments. Worse, we still react the same way to the unexpected as we did then. A water hose in the grass or a stick rustling in a leaf-pile can have your senses screaming "Snake!" These constant warnings result in adrenaline-fueled reactions that probably saved an ancestor's life but isn't so helpful now. Add in a petabyte
of information annually from 4000k TVs, games, news, and e-communications, and we're overwhelmed.
