Information Overload and Personal Identity

[aroundthetable]

Hi everybody, i'm enjoying dipping in and out of this forum and its one of my favourite places to come and browse so many interesting topics.

Because its so vibrant in here, it has caused me to wonder how to deal with all the info, barely a topic goes by that i dont want to follow. But the habit has formed now where i generally just look at the first page of new posts and the threads ive subscribed to. This suits me and my limited info capacity but i know there are so many topics that just float right by without me even noticing them.

So my point, to keep it short is, how does everybody deal with this? It seems to me that if you arrive here with a solid personal identity then hey not to worry about it all and take what is personally beneficial/interesting> However i can imagine people who do not have a sure footing could become bewildered and even depressed when faced with all this info action.



Any thoughts please?
