Letter: Information ocean

Published 18 May 2011

From Daniel Smith

In “Drowning, surfing and surviving” (2 April, p 30), James Gleick talks of a sense of drowning in a sea of information.

As one born into the information age, I find that instead of suffering from information overload I am more prone to information withdrawal. Being removed from access to the internet can at times be quite stressful, like a fish out of water.
