Hmmmm! Something bothers me about the notion of an information explosion.
Let's say that information is a statement about the number of different things in the world that could possibly be pointed out. Then information is a constant, or infinite, or both, eh? Lets say that information is astatement about what can becommunicated from one human being to another. Then it depends, does it not, on the ability of humans to process. then information can increase only if our ability to process increases and there can never be an over load of information. Am I nuts, but does this notion of information overload only arise from using the word "information" simultaneously in these to somewhat contradictory senses????
