The information super highway sure looks crowded. I'm continually stunned by the flow of information. The gadgets we all carry about because of the obsessive need we have created in the last 20 years to be in touch, everywhere. All the time. And this is coming from a dyed in the wool, true-blue geek.
How much is too much? Does this flow of information actually help us? We tweet, facebook ,email and blog our days away to name a few of our nasty habits. You'd have to live in a cave to not have a basic idea of what search engine optimization, and social networking mean. You can even get employment being a twitter.
But at the end of the day, how much of this do we remember? How much was useful? We are spending our days and consequently our lives in information overload. People think nothing of spending 8 hours a days at work in front of a computer, and then going home to spend another 8 on one doing their own thing. The internet is a giant self fueled machine. Fueled by our ever increasing habits of insulating ourselves from the real world, real contact and conversation, - all in the name of communicating more.
