There’s simply too much stuff in the world.

Basically, that’s what I’ve surmised. Even before The Internet became the most convenient and preferred method of information delivery I remember realizing, as a young boy, the amount of information that existed in the world. And I was scared then.

Now with every passing second the tubes that connect The Internet grow ever longer. You can pretty much get some kind of information about anything you can imagine. This is obvious. And with this incredible access comes an easy way to seek out anything that is of interest to you. Where before you had to go to the music store to find out which cool new band had debuted (or read the liner notes of your favorite album to get all the bands that were thanked), now you just search. And search. Newest games? Check. Obscure limited edition books? Check. Sneakers? Check.

The Internet has basically made me a Jack of All Interests. I like a bunch of things and can try and keep track of them but because I can so easily find out about new things I rarely dive really deep into any single one of them.

And with all the interests I have comes the problem of tracking all this stuff. What an ordeal. There are lots of webapps that help you keep track of your life, but then you have to keep track of those!

But now I feel like I’m complaining, and this is sounding like some spoiled 1st world problem post so I’ll stop.
