Information overload
It seems like a burden of our times; however, its a concern that is brought up whenever there is a culture shift in the way we consume information. sorts through the history of people crying that the new technology is stealing the previous generations souls (okay, maybe that was a little too dramatic) and conculdes by saying ” If anything, the data show that people who use social networking sites actually tend to have better offline social lives, while those who play computer games are better than nongamers at absorbing and reacting to information with no loss of accuracy or increased impulsiveness”.
Interesting stuff! It also makes me feel good about my Social Media and Xbox addiction :P
