Too much information

In class we discussed whether or not certain social networking sites were just too much and if the internet in general provided too much information. In my opinion, I generally agree that we are bombarded with information -- even though most of us immediately close annoying ads and commercials, we still looked at it and saw a name, which was the companies purpose anyway.

Even without being a member on the popular social networking sites, there are many times where I feel very unfocused an I'm thinking of so many different things at once; and I can't relax at all. I'll suddenly feel the need to check email, or check on something else online. On the other hand, I do think its nice to have a way to get in contact with old friends and people from your old schools.
