[ Traffic ]

Many city councils around the world try to solve traffic problems by adding more lanes for cars, and building more roads, bridges, and tunnels.  It’s fairly well accepted that those ‘improvements’ only mean more people start using the roads, and they jam up again.

Similar to attempting to reduce traffic jams by adding more lanes, our available communication modes – traffic lanes for keeping in touch - have increased remarkably.  Now communications traffic flows much more easily.  So that reduced friction means that we communicate more, in more ways … and subsequently creating another kind of traffic jam, in our heads.
