According to author Tibor Koltay, information overload (IO) is one of the perhaps best known “information pathologies” (Bawden & Robinson, 2009), signalizing to a certain degree the existence of a “dark side” of information. Nonetheless, the technological and social approaches to mitigating its syndromes, i.e. the “bright side” of information are also worthy of attention (Koltay, 2017). Accordingly, the best way of “taming” overload, individually and socially, is using a variety of coping strategies, and seeking a mindful balance in consuming information and data (Bawden, & Robinson, 2020).
