Subject: How good is this?

The information is everywhere, a constant feed in our hands, in our pockets, on our desktops, our cars, even in the cloud. The data stream can�t be shut off. It pours into our lives a rising tide of words, facts, jokes, GIFs, gossip and commentary that threatens to drown us. Perhaps it is this fear of submersion that is behind this insistence that we�ve seen, we�ve read, we know. It�s a none-too-convincing assertion that we are still afloat. So here we are, desperately paddling, making observations about pop culture memes, because to admit that we�ve fallen behind, that we don�t know what anyone is talking about, that we have nothing to say about each passing blip on the screen, is to be dead.
