Information Overload "Really"

Information overload is a term that some of us may think is new. Wrong, it has been around for a long time. First let’s define Information Overload.
“Information Overload n. exposure to or provision of too much information; a problematic situation or state of mental stress arising from this.”
Anything that causes a problematic situation or a state of mental stress is something cannot be good for people, right? What my research will show is that Information overload has always been around and is not bad for society, It is a part of the evolution of technology and how we utilize it and learn from it. The tools we use to obtain knowledge and provide us with the “information overload” have evolved over time. Understanding how we disseminate information, helps us change our way of thinking. Research will show different ways in which technology helps us learn and how the use of that technology needs to continue and change the way we think and learn.
