I remember reading once that a weekday broadsheet newspaper contains more information in one single edition than a normal person a couple of centuries ago would receive in a lifetime.

I’ve just googled where this came from, and found that this was being reported/discussed around the turn of the millennium … so clearly this problem has just got worse and worse since then.
