As a senior executive at Cisco, Alan Cohen (@ascohen) works at a company who creates and maintains much the plumbing and infrastructure of the modern communications miracle that is the Internet. It also means he's working for a company that perhaps more than any other has helped to enable information overload. Alan's superb TDC Talk gives great insight as to why we're being overloaded with information, why we're unable to deal with the data firehose and what we might be able to do about it.
As a sidenote his slides were partially produced and designed by the firm of another #TDC11 speaker - Nancy Duarte of Duarte Design :-)
