According to Tony Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project and author of "Be Excellent At Anything". He explains we've crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information that's coming at us on the internet. He likens the brain on digital overload (and working memory in particular) to an overflowing glass of water.
Schwartz explains to The Huffington Post:
"It’s like having water poured into a glass continuously all day long, so whatever was there at the top has to spill out as the new water comes down. We’re constantly losing the information that’s just come in -- we’re constantly replacing it, and there’s no place to hold what you’ve already gotten. It makes for a very superficial experience; you’ve only got whatever’s in your mind at the moment. And it’s hard for people to metabolize and make sense of the information because there’s so much coming at them and they’re so drawn to it. You end up feeling overwhelmed because what you have is an endless amount of facts without a way of connecting them into a meaningful story."
