Infomania: 资讯癖 (zī xùn pì)

Infomania is the debilitating state of information overload, caused by the combination of a backlog of information to process, and continuous interruptions from technologies like phones, instant messaging, and e-mail. 

“资讯癖”(zī xùn pì)指的是信息超载的超负荷状态,是由于需要处理大量的多种信息导致的,并受到手机、即时通讯及电邮等信息科技的不断打扰。

It is also understood as distraction caused by the urge to check e-mail, text messaging and other sources of information, which causes the person to show symptoms to neglect other, often more important things—duties, family, etc. 

总想着去查邮件,发短信,以及处理其他资讯来源,这会让人注意力分散,导致人们忽视其他通常更重要的事情,比如责任,家庭等等。

For instance, a typical symptom of infomania is that of checking e-mail frequently during vacation. 

例如,资讯癖的一个典型特征是在假期不停地查收邮件。

Example: 

tā rèn wéi zì jǐ de "shēng huó guǎn lǐ jì néng" yuè lái yuè zāo gāo shì yīn wèi zī xùn pì. 

她认为自己的“生活管理技能”越来越糟糕是因为资讯癖。

She attributes her increasingly poor "life management skills" to infomania.
