"Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense"

This quote by Gertrude Stein talks to the overwhelming amount of details that we are exposed to daily. In this digital age, we are constantly bombarded with news, social media, e-mails, and other types of communication. This can result in details overload, where we end up being overloaded and unable to process all of the data. As an outcome, we can lose our ability to think critically and make sound decisions. This quote is a reminder to take a step back and think prior to we act. We should bear in mind the details we take in and make the effort to process it before making any decisions. By doing this, we can make sure that we are making decisions based upon common sense and not just reacting to the latest news or pattern.
