Too Much Information

Thanks to the Internet, we are surrounded by:

• News that is reported before facts are established;
• News that really isn't news;
• Information we don't need to know;
• Information we don't want to know;
• Information that could have been postponed for weeks; and
• Information that is an undesirable distraction.

It is increasingly necessary to find a refuge in order to preserve time and judgment.

We do not need to have a personal foreign policy or regular briefings on the problems of the Bolivian economy or breathless reports on which celebrity just entered a treatment program.
