Deluged By Data For better or worse, we’re bombarded with information in today's digital age. Is this flood of data a blessing or a curse? A new way to understand our lives - or just a way to miss out on living them? Can we learn to control our data, before it controls us? Deluged By Data begins with a familiar refrain: our ever-expanding digital age has swamped us under incoming emails, tweets, texts, alerts, photos, Facebook posts - and now, new bio-feedback data that peeks deep inside our bodies. The film casts a humorous but sympathetic eye on a growing movement of so-called “datasexuals”, seduced and obsessed by the allure of raw data. Their new data-collecting devices are both fascinating and mind-boggling. But Josh Freed also talks to former data freaks who’ve learned to take regular digital Sabbaths - and even go to special retreats for a digital detox.
