This is interesting and I thought I would share. I didn't know that
there was a group dedicated to researching information overload...

"CIOs, managers, researchers, academicians, solution providers, and
consultants will gather in California next month to explore the
explosion of information that has reached crisis proportions, discuss
its far-reaching impacts, and provide solutions. The Information
Overload Research Group (IORG) will hold its second annual conference
April 26 – 28, at PARC, a Xerox company, in Palo Alto. "
