Are we used to info overload?

December 14, 2009 By Megan

In case anyone was wondering, it is possible to post on a Word Press blog through the Motorola Droid. The little keyboard is pretty tedious though.

So our office internet is down again. It has been out over a week, and in addition to complicating parts of my job, it has made me feel very cut off from the world. Yes, I do have a Droid (which I will review soon), but it isn’t the same. No fast news alerts. No easy Google access. No blogs on my break.

It has made me feel very cut off from things, and I wonder how we managed before this. Clearly we did, and yes, I am old enough to remember those days. Sometimes I do long for a simpler life, but I am not quite ready to give that uo just yet.

    Yes, we are used to it, and I don’t think it’s good for us. The human mind is not built to take in that much information all the time. I recently got an iPhone (did not like the Droid) but I already feel like my life has changed… I can always check my email, surf the Internet, be contacted. It makes me kind of sad.

    Oh, we’re definitely inured to the info blitzkrieg that is modern-day life. I think it’s one reason why people love Twitter: The constant stream of information may still be there, but it’s in bite-sized pieces. That’s a lot easier on the brain.

    It just makes me laugh to think that, about 15 years ago, my uncle used a pager for work. That way, he said, they couldn’t just call him at home. It allowed him to separate work from home. Of course, they still screen their calls, have a pay-per-use cell phone only for emergencies, and don’t have the Internet. It keeps them happy.

    I don’t think I could detach painlessly from the internet. I’m a junkie. But I do often wonder why everyone feels the need to have access wherever he goes. Sure, it’s cool. But it’s hardly necessary. And it may even be too much. It certainly doesn’t help us interact with other people (at least not face to face).
