Drowning in the Flood of Information

As I said yesterday when I updated the statistics, there were millions of print books published last year, 2010, over three million actually.

If our reading public used to consume 50,000 books a year, where are we going to find readers for 3 million? In his book Information James Gleick quotes Bertolt Brecht from the first days of radio:

"A man who has something to say and finds no listeners is bad off. Even worse off are listeners who can't find anyone with something to say to them."

What is amiss when the veritable technology company Xerox posts this video of concern about the information overload of its employees, indeed about the information overload of business employees in general?
