“Information Overload” 
Refers to the difficulty a person can have 
understanding an issue & making decisions that can 
be caused by the presence of too much information. 
(i.e., Too much info overwhelms people)

A person suffering can inflict 
the same pain on others 
in an attempt to ensure 
nothing is missed
