Information Pollution

6 Nov 2008

I feel that I am overwhelmed with too much information. There's untold amounts of advertising. Its clever and the jingles get caught in my brain.
I had a break recently and was free of the usual bombardments of the media, and I had time to think.
There wasn't a lot there in my brain that was uniquely mine any more. It was still full of media stuff, and I would like to clear it out. You know have a good shake up and tidy the place up a bit.
Its seems inescapable these days. Its not easy getting round without encountering vast amounts of stuff you really don't need but which get stuck in your mind.
Do you also think you have information pollution?

I hardly ever read the papers, i don't watch much telly now, the radio is crap and i filter what i get online.
My head is my own as much as possible cos nobody else wants it :silly:

I haven’t read a newspaper for about 10 years now. I watch on average about 5hrs of TV a week, I do spend time researching things that interest me or hobbies, and topics that I find fascinating, or subjects to help my children with homework and life.
I hold on to some experiences you never know when you mind need them.
Apart from things in my mind that I want to be there the rest I just send to the recycling bin and press delete.
In other words I store what I want to store the rest gets trashed.
If you are a thinker there are times it can still feel like spaghetti junction it is just sorting the strands out and filing then in order.
This makes sense to me! loon
