The Effects of Information Overload
Excessive consumption of information in the digital age can lead to cognitive overwhelm, brain fog, decision fatigue, and a lack of clarity. The constant influx of data puts strain on the brain, leading to synaptic debris that hinders its functioning. This debris consists of remnants from information processing, such as broken-down proteins and spent cell membranes. While the brain naturally integrates and applies information, the lack of time to do so results in overwhelm and a loss of direction.
