information overload...

everyone in IT, serve in the so-called Information Age, need to develop skills for managing information overload. This condition results from having a rapid rate of growth in the amount of information available, while days remain 24 hours long and our brains remain in roughly the same state of development as they were when cavemen communicated by scrawling messages in stone. but nowadays it communications can change everyday day and people need to keep up with different types of software that can help them keep all of their information. such as spreadsheets, where all the information is kept on the same page.. it can be put under different headings etc.. this is easier than having one singal document for each, also the spreadsheet can be easily updated.
data minig tools can be used in emails: when an admin person gets 100 emails everyday andd they only want to read on specific email they would have to look through every single one... but with a mining tool they would only have to type in what they want and they wil find it.Filtering e-mail or using such techniques as color-coding information is one strategy.
