Managing Information Overload

People with jobs in IT need to be able to overcome the vast amount of data they send and receive. SO much information pases between people that by the end of the day, most employees working in IT have to trawl through a hundred or so E-mails and documents they have been sent. Tools need to be made so that this data income is kept under control. One way of keeping the information income to a minimum is to use "filters." To cope with volumes of data, e-mail filters can be used to screen out less-than-critical messages and prevent an overwhelming amount of data from being sent to a person. Filters can block known 'spam' sites and can also block e-mails and documents with certain keywords in such as: games / violence etc. If the filter has a keyword to block 'games' then any website that essecively says 'games' it will block.
