Panel discussion at LIFT about the dangers with technological overload. Interesting and important. A few people in the audience actually admit that they are addicted by putting up their hands. One speaks up about his Internet addiction.
What's the core problem? Addicted to RSS flows? To mails?
Reading / answering one mail while ten new fills up the inbox. Not staying away from the
Blackberry /
Google's Gmail client - keeping on checking for new important (?!) mails.
Could it be that information overload is somewhat situation based, context dependent, personal - it might e.g. be the result of your own standards, the ones you have set yourself, for acceptable response time on mails / instant messages. This might trigger a sense of overload and also frustration; not being able to respond in time.
Erik - always with
Google's Gmail client running on his mobile device. Victim or power user?! Can you become addicted to a tool?!
