Information Overload October 3, 2006
Posted by Christine in General Interest, writing.trackback
Millions of people have a blog, thus… millions of pages are being written each and every day! Do you read many of them? I have to say I am intrigued because I personally think I produce more than I consume, in the blog-o-sphere. I am getting worried about information overloads after years and years of articles, blog posts and information gets archived in all corners of the Internet.
Part of me hopes, and thinks, that this issue will be resolved like any other one: survival of the fittest, or rather, survival of the most interesting. I’m sure there will be people closing up blog-shop once in a while and doing everyone a favor by deleting pointless information. But on the other hand, society seems to crave pointless information quite a bit (think gossip magazines/sites/blogs). So where is all this information going? Who will be reading our blogs if we write more than we read ourselves?
Perhaps I am just too used to being a writer that I forget there are people out there who do not write, but instead read. Hopefully it will stay this way, otherwise I am afraid the writing-business may be an economic bubble waiting to burst.
