Too Much Information: cognitive overload and its impacts
Learn about the processing power of the brain and explore the contemporary challenge of ‘too much information’ on our neurobiology.
 TMI is information overload aka ‘infobesity’. We live in an information, data and content rich world and our ancient brains are struggling to keep up with our daily consumption patterns.
Most of us follow hundreds of people on social media and peep into their lives. We receive messages and communication across dozens of channels, the news cycle rapidly changes and works hard to seize our attention. We’re commonly sleeping less while trying to do more in our 24-hour days. All whilst wondering why we’re waltzing with burn-out and regularly fatigued!
This keynote session asks ‘Is information overload driving some of the anxiety and ‘brain fog’ that many people feel?’ ‘Is ‘digital dementia’ shifting our memory abilities?’ ‘Are there ways we can adapt and evolve so TMI becomes manageable?’
If you’re an organisation or higher educator this keynote can be tailored to and delivered to a wide variety of audiences.
