Information explosion is when there is so much information available that it is hard to keep up. Think of it like an avalanche. An avalanche is a huge amount of snow that has collected over time and it could crash down and affect everything in its way. Information works the same way. Every day, more and more facts, ideas, and opinions get shared, stored, and spread around. With the internet, the rate of information growth has gotten even bigger. As the world gets more connected, it's harder to keep up with all the new stuff that's out there, and that's what we call an information explosion.
