Neuron Intelligence – Information Overload- a Global Problem, a Global Opportunity
Information Overload- a Global Problem, a Global Opportunity
The Internet has opened global society to what seems to be an infinite amount of information. This has allowed individuals, businesses, and governments to create and use more information than ever before in history. But at present, there is an overload of unfiltered, low quality, unstructured information and the problem is only getting worse.

- From 1900-1999 the world created a total of 10 exabytes of Information.
- In 2005, the world created approx. 12 exabytes of new information, or the sum total of all the information ever created throughout human history before the year 2000.
- By 2020 humans will create approximately 565 exabytes of new information.

Information Overload and the Workplace
As a result of this explosive growth of information, decision makers are having more difficulty finding and using the relevant and important knowledge that is essential to their business’s success. A survey conducted by the Gartner Group shows that 90% of businesses suffer from Information Overload, and their competitiveness is negatively impacted as a result.
The following is a break down of time spent on information in the workplace-
- 40% of an office workers time is dedicated to managing information. (Gartner)
- The average person spends 150 hours looking for lost information each year. (Information Overload Survey, IWF Wissen)
- 71% of office workers say that their most time intensive task is tracking down information(IWF Wissen)
Conclusion- Unless businesses have expert researchers, an abundance of time, and the capacity to assess and analyze massive amounts of information quickly, the important knowledge that they need to effectively grow and compete remains locked away and hidden in the vast oceans of information overload.
