4. According to the reading, an information overload is that people tend to overlook important things when they are bombarded with too many information.
The professor explains this concept by giving two examples.
First, she describes that today's employees receive a large number of emails each day. They do not have enough time to each and every email so they read only emails that seem urgent than others. This has risks that employees may miss out on important information.
Second, she describes how pervasive the internet ads are. People's brain can not deal with too many ads so they ignore all the ads completely. For example, one poll showed that 82% of the Internet users do not pay attention to the internet ads. This means that the internet ads are not effective.
These examples illustrate the information overload.
