Too Much Information

“We’re just never going to catch up,” writes David Weinberger in Everything Is Miscellaneous. That is, we’re never going to catch up with the flood of information that is thrown at us by modern technology, especially the internet. We can never get all of our email filed, our digital pictures labeled, our calendars updated, our computers organized. Is the problem too much information, or out-of-date expectations about how information should be organized? Ken and John try to make sense of the flood of information with author and philosopher David Weinberger, author of Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder.
