Too much information
http://www.economist.com/node/18895468#footnote2
My topic:
The regulations on the information in Internet are necessary.
What I hope to learn from this source:
I wanted to strengthen my first argument in the confirmation. I'll use the expert opinion, and supplement my reasons and solution.
Notes :
1. Difficulties by Information overload ( A survey by Reuters)
-two-thirds of managers believe that the data deluge has made their jobs less satisfying or hurt their personal relationships
-One-third think that it has damaged their health
- most managers think most of the information they receive is useless
2. Coined phrases to express the phenomenon
- the dizzying increase in the volume of information (the amount of data being stored doubles every 18 months)
- combination of omnipresence and fragmentation
- constantly bombarded with unrelated bits and pieces—a poke from a friend one moment, the latest Greek financial tragedy the next
- thickening at a time when companies are trying to squeeze ever more out of their workers
ex) survey in America by Spherion Staffing discovered that 53% of workers had been compelled to take on extra tasks since the recession started. This dismal trend may well continue—many companies remain reluctant to hire new people even as business picks up
4. Three big problems
1) anxious and powerless
2) reduce creativity
3) workers less productive
5. Solution
- technological: rely on the people who created the fog to invent filters that will clean it up
- willpower. Ration your intake. Turn off your mobile phone and internet from time to time.
- teaching " information superhighway "
Final thought:
This research can help support my overall confirmation. But maybe, I have to find more persuadable examples that can strengthen my first argument.

2. Coined phrases to express the phenomenon
“data asphyxiation” (William van Winkle), “data smog” (David Shenk), “information fatigue syndrome” (David Lewis), “cognitive overload” (Eric Schmidt) and “time famine” (Leslie Perlow). Johann Hari, a British journalist, notes that there is a good reason why “wired” means both “connected to the internet” and “high, frantic, unable to concentrate”3.
