@Tertius – Agreed, especially considering the fact that so much of the information is lacking in credibility. Addiction makes it even more difficult to distinguish fact from fiction.

@Nick – I think Ron Paul’s campaign was genius, then the Obama team took the best elements and ran with them. The impact of the Internet on politics & elections is inevitable.

Obama’s entire online marketing approach is genius. I think his team’s online marketing approach was one giant factor for his success.

I think, whilst access to information has brought education and innovation to great new heights, information overload might be the end of our civilization or more probably information addiction on a personal level.

A lot of people put their identity in knowing the latest little bit of news. This causes an extreme amount of stress to always stay updated, not just on their specific field but more widely.

What if I missed something?! Making you nervous and anxious.

I’m not saying this is the case for all, but a lot of people suffer with this. Cut out 90% of the info and you’ll live a happier more satisfying life.

IMO.
