Abstract

Information overload is one of the greatest challenges to individuals and organizations today. It affects productivity and therefore significantly impacts corporate costs. Additional challenges include mental overload and stress on individuals and the need for improved resources such as search engines and spam blockers. Possible solutions to this problem include knowledge management techniques, better strategies for maximizing use of the software and technological issues, and more careful text organization and design for all media.
