As an information-hungry society, we have extensive amounts of information and news feeds accessible through smart technologies.
But do we really need or want this amount of information at our fingertips 24 hours a day? Is there such thing as information overload? Is there a problem with volume of information or our limitations in processing it? Are we so hungry for instant information, that we are ready to ignore validity of content and the risk of misinformation? In a global information market, should we struggle to stay on top of everything?

Café Scientifique is a forum where, for the price of a coffee or glass of wine, adults can get together and talk about recent - and sometimes controversial - developments in science and technology. The Canada Science and Technology Museum moderates the discussion between invited experts and the general public. Lively discussions guaranteed!
