"Too much information."

That was what was up with ESPN. Websites try to cram as many linkable items as they can onto their web pages. It's information overload. How many times have you: Gone to your email intent on composing an email or looking for a specific email and got distracted by the inbox--spam, other emails? Gone to a search engine intent on looking up something and gotten distracted by something on the homepage or the search results or, "Oh, I think I'll check my Facebook first?" You cannot multi-task or even "task" unless you can negotiate your way past, over, or through these obstacles on the road to task completion. They are roadblocks. You have to keep focus, concentrate, more when the Internet should be alleviating that need; it should be easy, instead the Internet demands more concentration. Famously our attention spans have decreased. We lose focus, we cannot concentrate when we are getting hit by this barrage of sensory "input." It's sensory overload.

I still don't know why ESPN put the English soccer scores at the top, the very top, of the American college football scoreboard. "Duh, we have space, we have to put something there." Is that how dumb the thought process is? Or was it football-football, it's all the same. Is that how dumb the thought is? It was not scores, all scores are created equal, "Put some scores up there, this is a scoreboard." There were baseball games played today, they didn't put the baseball scores up at the top of the college football scoreboard. Whatever it is, it's pretty dumb.
