Data Smog
When I look at the list of music I have bought/downloaded (guilty as charged) / or ripped, I sometimes get a little asphyxiated with what David Shenk calls Data Smog.
I suppose I'm an information asthmatic. It is hard to remain productive, be that selecting new music for the season or keeping track of RSS feeds, or even remembering my passwords.
I however am confident in saying that my information smog cannot begin to compare with Beijing's real smog. And since I am not hosting any Olympics anytime soon, my net-coughing is just a blip on the Inbox.
