infomania 資訊癖

Infomania is the debilitating1 state of information overload2, caused by the combination of a backlog3 of information to process, and continuous interruptions from technologies like phones, instant messaging, and e-mail.

資訊癖指的是信息超載的超負荷狀況，是因為需要處置很多的多種信息致使的，并遭到手機、即時通訊及電郵等信息科技的不斷打擾。

It is also understood as distraction4 caused by the urge to check e-mail, text messaging and other sources of information, which causes the person to show symptoms to neglect other, often more important things -- duties, family, etc.

總想著去查郵件，發短信，與處置其他資訊來源，這會叫人注意力分散，致使大家忽略其他一般更要緊的事情，譬如責任，家庭等等。
