Christian Thomasius

Going to delete the sentence attributing this to Thomasius. I thought it was an interesting way to describe the phenomenon so I went digging for the source. Whoever added here probably got the info from this Hedgehog Review article (archived, https://web.archive.org/web/20120504211249/http://www.iasc-culture.org/THR/THR_article_2012_Spring_Wellmon.php). Jumping from the citation, archive.org has the review in question (here, https://archive.org/details/sim_albany-law-journal_1702-03_4_4), starting on page 202. Reading this you can see the nasty text that Wellmon quotes as Thomasius' are the reviewers' words/opinions, and they continue that Thomasius' writing actually argues there is value in the "disease". I couldn't figure out how to re-attribute without making it clunky, unless we want to say "Many Hands" said this.Musicandnintendo (talk) 00:10, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information Overload since the year 2000

While an interesting article, there is a danger that the volume of information overloads people. Given this, might not the article be spilt in two? The first: Information Overload up to the year 2000, and the other: Data Overload in the Twenty First Century? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.182 (talk) 09:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
