information fatigue

There is a new disease in the world: information fatigue. Even before the Internet, the problem was already serious, so many and so fast were the existing means of information, traveling on the wings of electronics, information, satellites. The Internet took the process to its peak, creating the species of internet users and pushing the limits of human capacity to assimilate knowledge and events in this world. Because communication tools multiply, but the potential for human capture – from a physical, mental and psychological point of view – remains limited. Then, in the face of the increasing bombardment of information, the reaction of many tends to become unhealthy: they become stressed, disturbed and lose efficiency at work.
