Is that not the single thing that ties us together? Knowing this and that; then using that knowledge to connect to others? Maybe I'm missing something, but is there ever too much information?
I've been combatting this by not checking my email/twitter on the subway and just focusing on the book I'm reading, and watching videos in full screen.
Also using Tweetdeck has helped alot because I no longer check Twitter compulsively. I wait for a tweet to come in then respond.

You just decide which information you put in.
In this respect, imperfect information can make a difficult choice easier to make. So yes, so there is such a thing as too much information. Some people just manage it better than others.
