The document discusses Timothy Recuber's work titled "The Postman Keeps Ringing" which examines the problem of balancing information and action in the digital age. Recuber introduces the concepts of "sense-ratio" and "information-action ratio" to describe the relationship between how much information people receive and how much they act on it. He also defines and explores the concept of "infoguilt", which is the negative feeling that comes from not responding to important or emotionally demanding information. The document emphasizes that issues around information overload are moral, normative, and cultural problems rather than purely technological.
