The Internet -- Too Much of A Good Thing?

MediaPost reported that Arianna Huffington, owner of news website The Huffington Post, took the opportunity to predict the "next big thing on the internet" is disconnecting.

"Everybody's so overloaded," she said, explaining that our "inner lives" are failing to be nourished in this digital age. Also, added Huffington, "we are an incredibly sleep-deprived society and we're paying an incredible price for it."

Huffington drew on lessons from her experience in politics for her audience of young agency types.

Evoking the bad practices of some traditional agencies, she also described how many political campaigns have halfheartedly embraced the promise of the new digital age.

"Very often they hire good Internet people," Huffington said, "and then put them in a room."
