"Researchers from Northwestern University and the University of Michigan published a study earlier this month that found the infamous “information overload” to be less of a reality than previously imagined."
“Contrary to many experts’ warnings that the ‘always-on’ media environment has ‘overwhelmed’ audiences and [is] creating a society of antisocial Facebook-addicts more interested in hashtags than hugs, the study found that participants said they felt ‘empowered’ and ‘enthusiastic’ about the volume of information at their fingertips, not overloaded...”
In many cases, memory slips are not due to aging. While it's true that memory tends to decline with age, it's also true that the high-pressure, hectic lifestyles that so many of us lead these days can have a significant impact on our ability to remember and retrieve information. In many cases, it's because we rush through something so fast or multitask most of the things we do that we aren't giving our brains sufficient time to process and store what we need to remember.
But not to worry. Whether it's normal aging or overscheduling or both, there are some fairly simple things you can do to overcome these frustrating lapses in memory.

The ability to distribute real-time information through social networks like Twitter is a powerful thing, but a new study points out that one of the downsides of this phenomenon is the fact that much of the content that gets linked to eventually disappears.
Au début des années 2000, c’était simple, l’outil numérique incontournable était le site Internet. Mais aujourd’hui, cela semble bien plus compliqué pour les organismes de recherche : les outils de communication digitale sont très nombreux ! L’usage de Twitter et Facebook se généralise. Les chaînes TV se multiplient. Et quelques organismes de recherche tentent même l’aventure sur Storify, Tumblr ou Flickr.
We’ve been wondering what computer scientist Gary Flake has been up to ever since we discovered his new startup company, Clipboard. Now, Flake, a former technical fellow at Microsoft who previously ran the company’s Live Labs research group, is taking the wraps off the new service.
And so what’s Clipboard all about? Basically, it allows users to save parts of Web pages, blowing past traditional screen grab technologies. “With Clipboard, you activate our clipper from your browser’s bookmark bar and then click on what you want,” writes Flake in a blog post. “That’s it. You can optionally annotate, tag, organize, share, and search your clips, but the core steps remains the same: Click and save.”

Data visualizations and infographics can make complex datasets easier to understand and comprehend. By creating a graphical represenatation of data and statistics, complicated concepts and information can make more sense in less time.
Many visualizations focus on representing a specific set of data or statistical information. Others focus on less-concrete topics, providing a visual representation of abstract concepts. Generally speaking, the first type appear more like graphs or charts and the latter are often more creative and imaginative. But visualizations and infographics can be used poorly, too. Putting in too much information (or not enough), using improper formats for the information provided, and other failures are common. Visit the article link for more than 25 useful resources for infographics and data visualization. Most are galleries of effective graphics though some also provide how-to information for information designers...
