“Information overload is a symptom of our desire to not focus on what's important. It is a choice.”

“Information overload (on all levels) is exactly WHY you need an "ignore list". It has never been more important to be able to say "No”

“It’s not information overload. It’s filter failure.”

“Overload 'em with information an' they'll kill yeh jus' to simplify things.”

“First, we cannot overload the human brain. This divinely created brain has fourteen billion cells. If used to the maximum, this human computer inside our heads could contain all the knowledge of humanity from the beginning of the world to the present and still have room left over. Second, not only can we not overload our brain - we also know that our brain retains everything. I often use saying that "The brain acquires everything that we encounter." The difficulty does not come with the input of information, but getting it out. Sometimes we "file" information randomly of little importance, and it confuses us.”

“In this world of numbness and information overload, the ability to feel, my boy, is a rare gift indeed.”
