Infomania is the debilitating state of information overload, caused by the combination of a backlog of information to process (usually in e-mail), and continuous interruptions from technologies like phones, instant messaging, and e-mail.[1] It is also defined as an obsessive need to constantly check social media, online news, and emails to acquire knowledge.[2] This may be related to a fear of missing out (FOMO).
