The age of information overload -- CNN

CNN today has a nice thought piece on The age of information overload. The article uses this information overload as a justification for Google Print, arguing that time stresses are causing people to choose less reliable Internet sources over books, simply because Internet sources are more readily available and searchable.

The article closes with a great tyranny of too much comment about information overload.

If you fill every waking minute with more media, you never do any independent thinking," Nielsen said. "You may have all the specific pieces of information, but the higher level is knowledge and understanding. You don't have time for that reflection if it's being thrown at you at never-ending streams.

"All you can do is duck."

Couldn't have said it better ourselves.
