Can there be too much information? Why or why not?

Question

Can there ever be too much information? Why or why not?

I will choose a best answer. Thank you.

Answer 1

ooooh yes. definitely. because the saying 'ignorance is bliss' really holds true. trust me, there are certain things you just don't want to know. you'll be a lot happier. although, not knowing, while knowing there's something to be known, just plain sucks. otherwise, dont bother.

Answer 2

There can be too much DATA, but if you define information as being contribution-to-knowledge, then the answer is NO, there cannot be "too much" information.
