Dealing with Huge Amounts of Information

“Limits of human attention; filtering; searching; broad-catch; information overload (does it exist?); information underload (’everything I know is wrong!’); sensory overload; visual display; effects of visual displays on the thoughts of their users (e.g., do astronomers come to think that Saturn really does have the colors they assign to different UV frequencies?); use of senses other than sight.”
