Not a single email until now? it's already twelve o'clock. I can't believe it!
Can't bear it, right? I've been there before. I'll feel uncomfortable if no one calls me or sends me text messages, like there is something missing.
Yeah, that's right. If no one sends me text messages, I'll go crazy.
Actually, this is a kind of addiction called 'informania' or 'information overload'.
Addiction? checking emails and text messages often can be called an addiction? no way!
Yes, it is. Do you consider a frequent check of your in-coming emails to be an integral part of your working day?
Aboslutely.
Do you have your cell phone with you wherever you go and check text messages and phone calls from time to time?
Yeah, it's a must. Otherwise, I may miss important phone calls and text messages.
Do you open all your IM tools whenever you're using a computer?
Yes. MSN, QQ, Skype, Google Talk, Ali wangwang, everything, so that I'll be in touch with all friends and relatives.
Now I can tell you're definitely addicted to the overflow of information
