Too many bits

I was reading about neat Google Calendar stuff but didn’t really see anything interesting until the last paragraphs, where Mark Hurst reflects that people need a way to receive fewer bits – fewer messages, articles, alerts, and so forth. That is what I want… a filter. A personal agent that knows I don’t want to see my kids’ appointments on my daily calendar except if I am planning a vacation or trying to get home to catch their game. I want them there, and accessible immediately, but never shown unless needed.

Finally, more people talking about the real problem and how to address the information overload so common these days…
