Es probable que ya haya escrito aquí algo parecido, porque es una de mis obsesiones, malgré moi. Tengo que aprender a relacionarme de una manera sana y relajada con la información. Porque, como dice aquí David Weinberger, uno de los tíos que mejor piensan sobre cómo internet está cambiando nuestra manera de saber, de conocer:
There are more things to see in the world than any one human could ever see. Some of those sights are awe-inspiring. Some are life-changing. Some would bring you peace. Some would spark new ideas. But you are never going to see them all. You can’t. There are too many sights to see. So, are you suffering from Sight Overload?
There are more meals than you could ever eat. Some are sooo delicious, but you can’t live long enough to taste them all. Are you suffering from Taste Overload?
Or, you’re taking a dip in the ocean. The water extends to the horizon. Are you suffering from Water Overload? Or are you just having a nice swim?
That’s where I think we are with information overload. Of course there’s more than we could ever encounter or make sense of. Of course. But it’s not Information Overload any more than the atmosphere is Air Overload.
It only seems that way if you think you can master information, or if you think there is some defined set of information you can and must have, or if you find yourself repeating the mantra of delivering the right information to the right people at the right time, as if there were any such thing.
Que, según lo entiendo yo, va en la línea de lo que Clay Shirky, otro de los güenos güenos, dijo hace un tiempo: «It's not information overload, it's filter failure».
Ahora mismo, lo que creo que tengo que hacer es aprender a ser disciplinado en mi consumo de información. Hay quien se machaca con la dieta Dukan; yo estoy leyendo The Information Diet:
