We live in The Age of Infoglut Henry James’ self-fulfilling prophecy
“Welcome to the Age of Infoglut. Every day, [we] are deluged by E-mails, faxes, snail mail, voice mail. If information is the currency of modern business, it is increasingly being exchanged in lower denominations, like so many pennies piling up on the dresser top. Just sorting everything out adds hours to a workweek--and stress to a psyche. One British psychologist claims to have identified a new mental disorder caused by too much information; he calls it Information Fatigue Syndrome.”
