People are starting to adjust and adapt to information overload: Fewer adults in the US of A today feel overwhelmed by the availability and constant stream of information that is characteristic of contemporary life than did a decade ago, according to a study from the Pew Research Center. Ironically, “those who own more devices are also the ones who feel more on top of the data and media flows in their lives. Those who are more likely to feel information overload have less technology and are poorer, less well-educated and older.” In other words, those who have the ability to access information at any time (through a smartphone on the road and a computer/tablet at home) are less overwhelmed than individuals who can only access information at specific times and therefore come face-to-face with the volume of the information all at once, rather than spaced out. For those of you who don’t feel that’s the crux of the issue, you can always take a look at NPR’s take on how to deal with “the barrage of news updates flowing to our screens,” from earlier this year.
