Are you the master of your computer?

The technology we hold in our hand, carry in our book bags, sit down in front of at night all provide us with one thing...information. Information overload is commonly associated today with overexposure to technology and i have found a scholarly journal article that lends a few tips reducing your stress online. I located the article using EBSCO in the library database and after reading and engaging it with critical though and scrutiny,  I googled it just to make sure it was not a bogus. Turns out they are based in Michigan, what a quaint place. The article articulates that the onslaught of information over the years is relatively useless to the end user unless they can find a successful way to navigate the river of information facing oneself.  Due to the growth of the quantity of information nearly, 30% every year, there have been organizations brought about to study the repercussions of allowing such an onslaught upon the human animal. These groups like the Information Overload Research Group (www.iorgforum.org) have put together tips on dealing with this problem such as set aside time to check your email, turn off phone notifications,and  make messages clear for the recipient.  After expressing these recomendations they go on to assert that the way we deal with the information all around us can be to a great extent the determinant of you personal or professional success. Overall this article made a very good rhetorical impression. The use of descriptive language informed the reader and painted a vivid image for them while the recommendations allowed for the reader to take a personal interest in the message and possible to have a greater rhetorical affect.
