Information Overload

I don't believe that too much information is a bad thing but I do believe that we get overloaded with too much information time to time. The World Wide Web is an example of alot of information. Just typing in something to google you will come up with thousands of things. I get so frustrated when I am doing a research paper on something and type it in google and get so much information that it takes me hours to find the information that is most useful. Lots of times you get anything that has that keyword in it. For example If you type Violence in schools into google you will get 38,900,000 entries at your finger tips. WOW!!!! That is a bit overwhelming for a student when doing a report. I think that you should set rules when looking up information. How about google your topic and only look at the first ten items that come up. I think that would save some time of sifting through all the information and I am sure you will find what you need in those first ten items.
