Reading "Overload" left me with a thought. Am I contributing to the litter on the side of the road on this information super highway? Is my blog adding more clog? Or as Palfrey and Gasser put it "this prolific expression can add to the amount of information that other must process."

What is my digital responsibility to this information ecosystem and what should I be teaching my natives in this regard? I truly have no idea. What would happen to the ever changing novelty of the Internet if our contributions were eventually limited due to information overload? Does the Internet have a capacity? If so, how close are we to it? These are just some of the thoughts that bounce around in my head, most of which I do not have the time to properly process.

I do think, however, the old saying "if its worth doing, its worth doing right" can be applied to this contemplation. I suppose at minimum I can tell my natives, along with myself, "if it will be causing clog.... you better make it a great blog."
