Is the Internet Full?

I just read this post on Seth Godin's blog. He's a hilarious (and brilliant) guy and in a few short paragraphs seemed to sum up some of the angst that people feel around the Internet. See his post: Warning: the internet is almost full.

His post, at least in my mind, seems to address our anxiety about finding data, dealing with copious amounts of information, weeding through clutter to get to the good stuff, balancing the "more" mentality that exists with less, staying on top of everything, being thought-leaders, and fighting off our urges for the quick(er) and fast(est).

Here's a snippet

Ten years ago, you had a shot of at least being aware of everything that mattered. Five years ago, you had to be really selective about what you took in, but at least it was possible to know what you didn't know. Today, it's impossible. Today, you can't even read every article on a thin slice of a thin topic.

Exhausting, isn't it?
