The key element of social control is the strategy of distraction that is to divert public attention from important issues & changes decided by political & economic elites through the technique of flood or flooding continuous distractions & insignificant info (Chomsky, 10 strategies of manipulation by the media )

In the age of digital media more and more people are experiencing information overload. Introducing well thought out infographics into your communication mix can be a good way to make your information and ideas more "sticky".
"It's not information overload. It's filter failure."

Flood Of Meaningless Credit Alert 'Notifications' Worse Than Credit Card Offers & AOL Floppies - IMRAN™
Considering the many hacks of credit card and consumer identity databases over the last several years, I am obviously thankful to have credit alerts and notifications if or when some significant change or access to my credit report occurs.
I like that most major credit cards also throw in that service for free. I do not mind getting multiple alerts for something significant. But this is flood of absolutely useless credit alert notifications are beyond absurd, bordering on insane.
Here is Experian urgently and earnestly alerting me on Sunday afternoon that the credit usage on one of my credit cards decreased... by a massive orgasm-inducing reduction of.... $68. Sixty-Eight f(*&^ing Dollars reduction in the balance of a credit card that probably charges me18-24% blood-sucking interest on say $10,000... Let me do a backflip to celebrate!
This is an example of good intentions and bad thinking creating a UrUXSux experience.
What do you think of this flood of notifications, and every app and service -- and even web page --- on the planet shoving a "Let me irritate the $#!T out of you by allowing notifications" message in our faces?

We are at a crossroads in the world. Everything is so multifaceted, and increasingly flowing in more complex patterns. When will the depth and breadth of information, flow of ideas, culmination of conflicts end?

I've changed the content of the museum wall, putting the photo of Johanna Siegmann into the frame: visit PhotoFunia to do similar things: photofunia.com/categories/galleries/museum_kid
had this idea for a while
i heard a stat somewhere that the average person will come in contact with more information in one day than someone a century ago would within their whole lifetime. i'm trying to find the exact statistic but i'm not sure how to look
anyway i guess this is kind of important...i for one am a very wired and connected person in the sense that although my devices are wireless, they need wires to charge and keep working and so i need those wires to remain functional. my collection of cords and connectors is overwhelming and i often wish i was born in a simpler time...
on another note, i'm done for the semester

Email is such a funny thing. People hand you these single little messages that are no heavier than a river pebble. But it doesn't take long until you have acquired a pile of pebbles that's taller than you and heavier than you could ever hope to move, even if you wanted to do it over a few dozen trips. But for the person who took the time to hand you their pebble, it seems outrageous that you can't handle that one tiny thing. "What pile? It's just a pebble!"

This off camera flash malarky is a never ending minefield of information!

Took me about 4 hours. Final .PSD is 67.3MB large, the .jpg is 1.1MB (probably too large for a background, really).
I started in the top left corner and worked my way down and across. I keep thinking about if my computer had crashed or photoshop had quit itself halfway through and I had to start again...
I'd probably try kill myself with the power cord.
“Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.” Jean Arp
The iHeel shoe-phone in the image is a reference to the hype surrounding the iWatch. App icons are displayed down the side of the shoe. "Episode XXII" is probably self-explanatory; we're on Episode VII now, so XXII would be the first film in the eighth Star Wars trilogy, some years from now, when there are holotheaters. The model at the top of the image is wearing a wraparound AR viewer. BofA or Bank of the West at this point has grown into Bank of the Northern Hemisphere. The vodka bottle, perfume bottle, ring, and the bistro's name are holograms projected into the air. Blue Lotus Herbals is a comment on how available recreational chemistry will probably be in the future. "Heather" instead of "Tiffany." "Farthingales" instead of "Bloomingdales." Maiden Celestial, which offers more non-stop flights to Mars, is a reference to Virgin Galactic. A line of sparkles is beginning to outline the Coke bottle. Patsy from AbFab (eyeing the vodka bottle) is an old reference by now, from the 90s (as well as 2011-12), but she is still a memorable pop-culture icon with no qualms about almost anything. Which would make Qualm ironic as a designer label. The car is an actual Audi concept car I was going to modify to make it more my own design. The computer screen on the back of the car includes a Geico-like ad ("Calco Ins: 15 sec save >15%") squeezed in among the other data displayed there. Bistro Devo displays items from their menu on the marquee screen, including their signature blue fries. They also offer green beans genetically modified into grape-flavored purple beans, and the T-bone has embedded electronic doneness indicators. Josh Groban at this point would be a centenarian. The word after "pizza" is "printer"; 3D printers probably already make a decent pizza. The two people by the car are just stand-in images; I was going to give them different poses in the final painting. The woman's nose piercing illuminates her face, vaguely reminiscent of Toulouse-Lautrec, and her ear piercings and fingernails are also lighted, as are their clothes.
The image is a mockup for an acrylic-on-canvas concept-art painting I was going to do but decided not to because of the amount of advertising text I'd have to paint. I didn't want to reduce the amount of text because the future advertising bombardment is the point of the picture. So I'll just let it remain a mockup. It was a fun image to work on, and I thought it would be an interesting intersection of old and new to create concept art on canvas instead of as a PSD and with acrylics instead of oils. The idea of every surface covered with advertising is reminiscent of the mall in "Minority Report." Part of the building resembles Wonder Mall in Shijiazhuang, China.

Emily came back from orientation at University of Georgia, tossed the contents of her bag of goodies on the counter, and said, "Here's your picture of the day, Mom." Can you spot where she can study abroad?
My browser gets into this state after an average pass of my aggregated feed list (aka Friend's page on LJ).
As I'm scrolling through the page, I have Crazy Browser set to open a link of interest into a new tab via the middle mouse button. That way, I can quickly scroll through and get the stuff I want to look at open in the browser to read later.
The next generation of browsers should take this problem into account.
Another feature I'd like to see is an auto-open-URL list save feature. Let's say my system or the browser crashes... I've lost all of that work I put into unearthing all of these links. The browser should keep a running log file that knows what you've seen and always have the list ready to reload in case something should happen.

2008 is the year we hit Peak Attention. You can either carry on encountering as much as you do now, giving every input less and less attention every year, or you can start managing it, keeping some back to take long-haul attention flights. What are the consequences of living post-Peak Attention? Nobody will be able to understand anything hard unless they make sacrifices

this picture illustrates to me the main problem with GTD.
Sure, I've got everything I need to do in the system, but if new things come up and I get even a day or two behind my initial planned schedule, the whole system can get unwieldly very quick.
Some may argue that the way to address this is to just keep all the tasks in a flat text file or in a hipster pda... but I really think you need an intrusive reminder to make GTD work most effectively.... it's just that once you hit a certain threshold of reminder tasks, the system is rendered useless.
There's not much benefit to having an empty email or physical inbox when your action list is overflowing like this.
