He describes the mental toll of watching talking heads and the difficulty of documenting media spin. Adam Curry explains his process of immediately clipping and archiving news segments to manage the psychological burden.

The 1995 film *Johnny Mnemonic* is revisited for its depiction of "Nerve Attenuation Syndrome" (NAS) caused by information overload.

The film, set in 2021, also features a "Thompson iPhone," predating the actual Apple product by over a decade.
