[LM_NET] How to protect ourselves from info overload

[Jacqueline Henry <jhenry@GANANDA.ORG>]

I loved this quote from a Boston Globe article on information overload:

"If you fill every waking minute with more media, you never do any
independent thinking," Nielsen said. "You may have all the specific
pieces of information, but the higher level is knowledge and
understanding. You don't have time for that reflection if it's being
thrown at you [in] never-ending streams.

"All you can do is duck."


Ready access to info means smarts or stress?

"The Librarian, whose job is to heal ignorance, to keep life safe for
poetry and to put knowledge smack dab in the middle of the American
way."
