The overwhelming feeling of drowning beneath mounds of data with little or no hope of ever reading it all.

The amount of information available to humans in the twenty-first century is astounding. Due to the Internet, it is expanding exponentially. Some people feel there is too much of an emphasis on information and that we all are likely at some point to suffer from "information overload."
