  2. Denial of Information Attacks: Intentional Attacks that overwhelm the human or otherwise alter their decision making http://circadianshift.net/images/Virginia_Tech_1920s_NS5423_Y_small.jpg

  3. The Problem of Information Growth • The surface WWW contains ~170TB (17xLOC) • IM generates five billion messages a day (750GB), or 274 terabytes a year. • Email generates about 400,000 TB/year. • P2P file exchange on the Internet is growing rapidly. The largest files exchanged are video files larger than 100 MB, but the most frequently exchanged files contain music (MP3 files). http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/research/projects/how-much-info-2003/
