information anxiety
Definition
Human cost of information overload. In the words of Richard Saul Wurman (author of the book 'Information Anxiety'), it is "produced by the ever-widening gap between what we understand and what we think we should understand. It is the black hole between data and knowledge, and what happens when information doesn't tell us what we want or need to know.”
