Near-infinite access to pretty much any information you can possibly dream of, content, questions, etc, on a little device in your pocket

Do you feel this "overload" all the time or in bursts?

It was all the time because couldn't get my mind to connect to all the things I was thinking about. Now I can and it just comes out. For example I never wake up in the morning hungover or anything my eyes just go bing and I am wide awake. I then rune 3 miles then read about an hour of wiki for whatever my mind comes up with. Then I got to my job for 48 hours.
