Seems much fuss is made about the amount of information (data) available through multiple sources in the ‘information age’, and theories like connectivism laud the ability of any one individual(s) to access this info.
What about data overload? When will the focus be on data reduction, instead of data proliferation? Will there be a time when too much info (TMI) is considered the norm, rather than the undesirable exception?

As information broadcasting grows, people will learn to segment, filter and otherwise cognitively deal with it. It will be interesting to see if this turns into a new form of learning disability or if people who cannot deal with information in mass quantities will have an information psychosis of some sort.
