Control those tabs ! Five web browser tab tips. – | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
This was me. Does it sound like you ?

Too many tabs open in my browser …I think 64 was my record. In just one window. I am also a great “that is too messy, so I will open a nice, clean window” (but not close the other open ones) kind of woman.
But….I can’t close the open tabs because some must be useful, this is DAYS worth of tab-opening right here.
Can’t find what I want, so…I’ll just open that tab again, rather than locate the right tab.
My laptop is slowing down because displaying the fiddly bits on the open pages is hogging memory.
I know I will use these nine web pages each workday, and am sick of opening them each morning.
Oh damn!! I didn’t mean to close that tab, and now I can’t remember how exactly I got to it

Information Overload? Here Are 10 Ways You - And Your Students - Can Deal With It - InformED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

If you read the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it would take you 57,000 years to reach the end. You could bind the pages in a 10,000-foot-tall book weighing 1.2 billion pounds. Printing it would require half a million liters of ink, which is the volume of fuel it would take to power a 747 jet leaving New York and heading east to Tokyo. It would use enough paper to cover half of Long Island, or twice the number of trees in Central Park. If the Ancient Babylonians had started printing the Internet in 1800 BC, they’d be done right about now!
