What I expect to learn:

 

I expect to learn the message and concept of this chapter.

 

 

 

Book Review:

 

     First, what is information? Information is a data which basically explains a thing or what have you. Information tells about something which mainly tells its definition as well. The most often used types of information are found in the office which are basically e-mail, voice mail, phone calls, meetings, business journals, faxes, memos, manuals, These type of information are found not only in the office but are also used by amateur professionals, startups, and by students as well. It is very helpful and i think that it has something in connection with the previous chapter.

 

     The previous chapter which is about internet can be a means of transferring different sorts of information in the web. Information being sent or transferred in the web are basically what we call data or file.  We can say that Data is like food. A food should be well served and respected because it is important and people lives because of it. Likewise with information, we’re best served when we can partake of reasonable, useful portions, exercising discretion in what data we digest and how often we seek it out. When people eat too much, they start having stomach aches, and sometimes, even choking happens because of too much food in the mouth which cannot be chewed all of it spontaneously. Now, its connection with information overload is that the food is the information. It is overloaded when data's are too much and cannot be handled by the system which is basically the humans digestive system. When people cannot digest the food, it is also like the information are cannot be processed well by the computer system because it is too much.

 

 

 

     Overall, information overload is something that my lead to computer crashes. This might happen anytime when not carefully observed by the users of the system. It should always be observed so that it ccan be prevented from happening.
