Overcoming Information Addiction

30sleeps.com — My dealer calls himself Unread. I caught a glimpse of his driver’s license once though, when his wallet spilled all over the ground while we were shooting up in an airport lounge. Turns out his real name is Unimportant *****. That’s a pretty funny name, when you think about it.

Who dugg this?

  • SmilinBob82, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3I like to read random Wikipedia articles. I once spent over an hour reading the differences between US football and Canadian Football. I don't know why, i just wanted the information, maybe someday I'll be able to recall that knowledge and use it, but i doubt it. I think I am just trying to see how much info i can cram in my brain before it runs out of space.
  • komputes, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3Information is not knowledge. Understanding is knowledge.
    IMHO Einstein would not have a facebook account.
  • rantingraj, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2**** I am addicted to stumbleupon and digg, nice article I suere can use it
  • ALyken, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2How to overcome information addiction? ummmm.... get a life? One can still get and use information without breathing it in every second. Go outside sometimes and actually talk to someone.
  • mneptok, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2"I think Einstein missed the information age by what, 30-40years? Bad quote. If he had the internet in his time, we would have had interplanetary travel, physical teleportation and quantum computing in the late 60's..."

    No, we would have had an obnoxious Jewish kid from Germany spray-painting "PWNED" on the Max Planck Institut with the rest of his WoW clan.
  • inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2That RSS feed icon is humongous.
  • inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2I can't! I'm addicted. That's why new rapid-information delivery sites like http://www.floort.com and http://snapmylife.com are killing me! Instant connection and information from my iPhone! Arrrgh!

    Information overload is no joke though diggers. I actually had to go to the emergency room once from a migraine as a result of internet information overload.
  • Accolade1, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Shooting up with digg is not a problem. I can quit any time I'd like! Honestly!
  • inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1Someone call Tim Ferriss! His shtick is in danger.
  • AFrei, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Goodbye digg! see you next month!
  • jasonsalas, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1simple solution for a complex problem: just unplug.
  • Jade456, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Umm...stop using Digg?
  • VTCastle, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1Ever felt PURE GUILT for not finishing your RSS feeds at night? That's me! I'm a stock trader by profession, but that's my excuse for MAIN LINING the 3000+ titles I speed read each day. Now that is pure addiction.
    Nice Story - THX.
