Abstract
The author proposes that a hallmark of technological societies is the ubiquity of conditions which result in sensory and information overloads for many persons. Research results from several salient areas are reviewed briefly in support of the main thesis. It appears that information overloads give rise to psychophysiological effects which may lead to behavioral and somatic pathology and are thus a practically important subject for psychosomatic investigators.Keywords
