Drinking from a fire hose is like eating the richest chocolate cake or reading the most dense paragraph. Five seconds will quench your thirst, one bite will quench your taste buds, one sentence will be enough to think about for hours. Drinking from a fire hose is often used as an analogy for information overload. Try watching 30 TED talks in one day, and you’ll begin to experience this idea. Do that 5 days in a row and you’ll understand why there is a thing called the TED crash - it’s what happens to people after attending the week-long TED conference, and it’s very real.
