Exactly. We generate SO much information, and if we consider the current exponential rate at which the information distribution is growing, we're simply going to run out of "functional" brain pace within a few decades.

As a result of which I find myself "unplugging" more and more, these days. I have to sit back and examine the deeper question of "What exactly am I missing out on, again?" Much of the time, it turns out to be nothing. Or just the fear that if I don't stay informed about everything, I might miss some important "opportunity." But really? Odds are I wouldn't have time to take that opportunity, even if it showed up.
