Information Saturation

I think the 21st century has a big largely unnoticed problem; the saturation of information, which is "to destroy (a target) completely with bombs and missiles.", but with opinions instead of bombs and 2nd hand facts instead of bombs.

I'd rather discuss my opinions in the comments, but I really encourage people interested in this to watch these to video that talk about the issue:

Best quote from the first link: "Our goal isn't to control content, but to create context", I'm sure every mod would agree.
