Info Overload, Quality, and Learning

Hello everyone and welcome to my first blog ever. I decided my inquiry area to be information overload, information quality, and learning after a I saw a short video on the Berkman about overload. I never realized how enormous the digital world truly is without thinking of it as something most people can access. A few things that grabbed my attention as I skimmed through "Born Digital"-  the overload chapter- "is how an individuals ability to make adequate decisions may be affected due to excessive information (192)" and the life styles we live with now and our future generations may posses. I am interested to learn more about how those subjects  correlate and affect ones over all health. For example one type of information overload could be internet addiction; under that category falls chatting, gaming, shopping and the list just goes on. Therefore how can chatting, something so harmless affect your over all wellbeing how can this be prevented, solved, or maintained?
