Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'information', derived from Latin 'informare' (to shape, form, or instruct), originating in the late 14th century, and 'overload', combining the prefix 'over-' with 'load', dating back to the mid-19th century. The compound 'information overload' was coined in the mid-20th century, notably popularized by management theorist Bertram Gross in 1964 and later by Alvin Toffler in his 1970 book 'Future Shock', to describe the state of feeling overwhelmed by the massive volume of daily data.
