Scott Berkun the­o­rizes about infor­ma­tion over­load:

There is a notion the world is pol­luted with infor­ma­tion. And that reck­less pub­lish­ing or cre­ation is bad. This might be true, but that ship has sailed. We won’t be elim­i­nat­ing infor­ma­tion from the world. Therefore:

Hypothesis: It doesn’t make the world any worse to add more infor­ma­tion to it, since we can’t be/feel more over­loaded than we already do.

That’s why every­one deserves the dig­i­tal equiv­a­lent of a print­ing press. The more infor­ma­tion the bet­ter, what I’m over­loaded with some­one else will cherish.
