There's no such thing as information overload-only filter failure.
It’s not information overload. It’s filter failure.
We're not in a world of information overload, we're in a world of filter failure.
Everyone spoke of an information overload, but what there was in fact was a non-information overload.
We do not experience things as they really are! We experience things only through a filter and that filter determines what information will enter our awareness and what will be rejected. If we change the filter (our belief system), then we automatically experience the world in a completely different way.
The maps are really like a filter. They filter information for you to make better decisions on where you are going and what to do.
A great problem of the internet is how to filter information, how to discard what is not relevant or what is silly and to keep only the important information.
The fewer data needed, the better the information. And an overload of information, that is, anything much beyond what is truly needed, leads to information blackout. It does not enrich, but impoverishes.
I don't think information overload is a function of the volume of information. It's a derivative of the volume of information plus the sense-making tools you have.
I don't think we should have less information in the world. The information age has yielded great advances in medicine, agriculture, transportation and many other fields. But the problem is twofold. One, we are assaulted with more information than any one of us can handle. Two, beyond the overload, too much information often leads to bad decisions.
We really are living in an age of information overload. Google estimates that there are 300 exabytes (300 followed by 18 zeros) of human-made information in the world today. Only four years ago there were just 30 exabytes. We've created more information in the past few years than in all of human history before us.
There's a lot more information at hand and sometimes there's information overload and we become desensitized to it, so things start to mean less.
One of the effects of living with electric information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with.
The cure to information overload is more information.
There is no such thing as information overload, just bad design. If something is cluttered and/or confusing, fix your design.
Most managers receive much more data (if not information) than they can possibly absorb even if they spend all of their time trying to do so. Hence they already suffer from an information overload.
Information Overload = "information pollution"
