In todays world with smarphones, the Internet, facebook, games etc. more and more of us, especially the young who have grown up with the technology are distracted and addicted to these huge time wasting activities. Facts and hearing watching world news can be useful, giving us information about the world, but mostly it is useless and makes us feel sad or depressed and also see the world according to the views of the program makers. We must learn to switch these off, go out meet others socially and try to have a social life, otherwise we will become socially inept.

This is one more problem.
There is information addiction, the topic of the thread, and then there is information overload as you have just pointed out. We got to deal with both of them.
