Screensumer, Digital Distraction and Online Stress

I couldn’t find the online version of the article but read two articles in TOI related to topics that I was thinking lately – Screensumer.

Time to master the digital distraction - To tackle the information overload, experts see a rising push to manage the new tech tools. And here is the quote from futurist Simeon Spearman.

When you see the demands we put on computers these days and how much they can process, you begin to understand just how much we’re being hit by all the time

The other TOI article I could locate on NYTimes – In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop

Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December. Other bloggers complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disorders, exhaustion and other maladies born of the nonstop strain of producing for a news and information cycle that is as always-on as the Internet.
