"According to the reading, 'information overload' refers to a situation where we are bombarded with more information than we can effectively process. The professor provides two examples to illustrate this concept. First, she discusses the issue of email in the workplace. Employees often receive an overwhelming amount of emails and don't have enough time to thoroughly review all of them. As a result, they might skim through most emails, potentially missing important ones and leading to unfavorable outcomes. The second example she provides is the saturation of advertisements to which consumers are exposed. According to research, most online advertisements don't capture consumers' attention, making them less effective. This in turn causes companies to spend more money on advertising, often with minimal return."
