Ellen on Technology go to 5.00
I wanted to put this little clip of Ellen Degeneres to show how overwhelmed by all the multitasking that has overwhelmed the adult population. When I read this chapter I realized that the RSS feed is really meant to reduce the need to feel overloaded by information, It's funny how much changes so quickly when you are connected so many people at once. I am familiar with the feed because I use Facebook frequently to stay in touch with my friends from all over the world. The RSS feed helps me to stay on top of new posts but NOT become overwhelmed by keeping in touch with everyone all at once.
I see it as a kid in a candy store. When we are bombarded with so much candy all at once we are amazed and maybe a little paralyzed by all the candy we can see. The RSS feed can reduce this overload by just exposing you to the most recent updates of new and improved candy... don't need to see it all at once because it is completely overwhelming.
I have enjoyed using it on Google Reader because I am connected to a lot of thing of interest to me. It's so cool that I don't have to visit each website or blog to connect to my interests.
