I am surrounded by Piles of unread newspapers and magazines. I have a heap of videos that I must get around to watching. Library books are taken out and returned unread. I love to keep in touch with people but have a backlog of correspondance. I am fascinated by the power of the web but overwhelmed by all that interesting information available to me.
Communication is great but it certainly complicates life.
The plus side is that it is easy to communicate almost instantly with intersting people throughout the world. We can access information regardless of where it is stored.
