To find out more about the topic, I typed in the google search bar "information overload".
I went through several links.
But on page 3 of the results, I found this link
http://www.infogineering.net/understanding-information-overload.htm
Not only did this link explain to me what exactly it meant to have an overload of information, it also gave a history of how it came to be.
infogineering.net states:
Information Overload is an increasing problem both in the workplace, and in life in general. Those that learn to deal with it effectively will have a major advantage in the next few years.
Information Overload is when you are trying to deal with more information than you are able to process to make sensible decisions. The result is either that you either delay making decisions, or that you make the wrong decisions.
We are living in the "Information Age", and sometimes the amount of information that we receive at once can become overwhelming, leading to information overload. We have to learn to multi-task and use the information given to us in an effective and efficient way.
