Wiki Exercise 3: Information Overload!

The problem today regarding information overload lies in the vast amount of available online mediums in which people can consume, distribute, and manipulate information as they please. The internet has become this tremendously large social platform in which information accessibility and availability is overwhelmingly limitless, and with these endless possibilities of course comes the inevitable probability of distraction.

I personally dread not checking emails daily, in fear of allowing copious amounts of junk mail to accumulate in my mailbox, whether it's emails from Youtube suggesting videos that I should check out, or emails from 3rd parties I had no idea I'd signed up for. These are examples of small distractions whereby information intrudes on our personal lives. These distractions often manifest from small distractions to everyday compulsions. We must check our email; we must check our Facebook notifications; we must check what Youtube recommends we watch, otherwise we feel like we're missing out.
