WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: May 26, 2003 Spam is tip of iceberg of information overload (Gerry McGovern) -- "For every page printed, there are 30,000 'pages' published on computers. Today, glut is a far greater problem than scarcity. We are slowly being drowned by vast quantities of useless content." (Comments: Data smog and Overcoming information overload)

This is mostly due to definitions for the word information lacking any application to human objectives. Can there be "information overload" if there isn't a woking definition of information? An even better question to consider is whether information technology can truly exist as different from data processing technology. Posted by: (the other)JS on May 26, 2003 10:00 AM

Comparing spam to poorly written articles and reports? Huh? Posted by: Ron Zeno on May 26, 2003 02:50 PM
What about inspirational quotes, forwarded news articles, office betting pools, circulated rumors, CYA memos. Spam. Posted by: on May 26, 2003 11:49 PM
