wow, didn't realise tiktok is 50x youtube... should I sign up and catch up on any things I've been missing on that platform > The sheer volume of content is overwhelming > The mental effort required to evaluate and choose between many options can be exhausting > Saving these links in a digital vault where they’ll most likely be forgotten forever The diagnosis seems correct. We all experience this digital overabundance. Abundance is in principle a good thing. But obviously there is gross mismatch with the tools we have to manage this flow. You can overwater your plants and drown them. But I am underwhelmed by the remedies proposed. My gut feeling is that nothing less than a ground-up reworking of the personal computing infrastructure will be required to restore an equilibrium that accomodates the nature of our information processing capacities. We need to go back to the Engelbartian concepts of augmentation but drastically updated for the vast knowledge we have acquired in the meantime. And of course this has to be done in a context that is seriously human centric. The people that will build this infrastructure need to somehow have their incentives and interests aligned with the average person. They should not see the dazed and confused online masses as product to be trapped and exploited.
