Information overload, a prevalent phenomenon studied in psychology, is fueled by a myriad of causes that contribute to cognitive overwhelm. In today's fast-paced digital age, the constant influx of information from various sources, such as social media, news platforms, and emails, overwhelms our cognitive capacity to process and filter it effectively. The accessibility and ease of information sharing, coupled with the fear of missing out and the desire to stay connected, amplify the volume and speed at which information reaches us. Additionally, the lack of effective information management strategies and the tendency to engage in multitasking further exacerbate the problem. Understanding the causes of information overload provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between technology, human behavior, and cognitive limitations.
