Everyone spoke of an information overload, but what there was in fact was a non-information overload.

Richard Saul Wurman

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.

Marshall McLuhan

I do know that if you can name certain things and understand them, it allows you to make better choices. Unfortunately, there's so much misinformation that towers over a person's head, it's really difficult to make the right decisions. Consequently, we just go along because it's way too hard to sift through the information.

Jimmy Santiago Baca

Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.

Oliver Stone

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.

Peter Drucker

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.

Paul Saffo

I think we are definitely suffering from an information overload, but I believe that there is going to be better and better ways of organizing that information and processing it so that it will enhance your daily life. I just think that technology and information, it's overwhelming at the moment, but it's really going to make life better.

Anne Wojcicki

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.

Daniel Levitin

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.

James Taylor

The cure to information overload is more information.

David Weinberger

There's an imperative to make sure you distinguish fiction from the fact, because if the fact is doing the work, why did you do fiction? And once you raise the question of why - why do fiction? - then you have to answer it in your text as a kind of enactment of the answer.

Fred D'Aguiar

People say we live in an age of information overload. Right? I don't know about that, but I just know that I get too many marketing emails.

James Veitch

I think it was Samuel Johnson who said, "There are two kinds of information in this world: that what you know and that what you know where to get." The tools help the latter, and that's what keeps us from going nuts. The sense of overload comes from the gap between that sudden jump in volume (of information) and the tools we have to make sense of it.

Paul Saffo

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.

Russell L. Ackoff

Good times are a reminder and a reward for dealing with the difficult and challenging times we all go through. The trick is to celebrate the good times in advance of the difficult times. Always remember, good times await you after the difficult times pass.

James A. Murphy III

Information Overload = "information pollution"
