We analyze the concept of legal awareness of citizens, its structure, significance for a particular individual and for society as a whole, ways to increase the level of legal awareness of the population, as well as the con-sequences due to an increase in the level of legal awareness. We cover the is-sue of excess information in the legal sphere, its causes and consequences. We consider the essence of legal information burnout, its signs, potential danger and impact, identified preventive measures and methods to combat this phenomenon. We comprehend the impact of excessive legal information on professional deformation and professional burnout of lawyers, we have determined the functional significance of excessive legal information to citi-zens to maintain the proper level of their legal functional literacy. The pur-pose of the study is to determine the relationship between the increased vol-ume of legal awareness, information overload, legal information burnout and, as a consequence, the professional deformation of lawyers. We make an attempt to declare the existence of the phenomenon, which is conventionally called by the author legal information burnout. The study will be of interest to specialists in the field of jurisprudence, psychology, information technology, and may also be useful for other specialists and all those who are interested in the issues of this issue.

Visualization of knowledge in public entities is becoming more and more popular due to the development of information technology tools, the demand for solutions allowing for reduction of information overload (IO), and new approaches to local government, including citizen participation. The chapter presents some case study examples of knowledge visualization in public entities with some conclusions and recommendations for policy makers. Additionally, it presents a complete map of certain Polish counties prepared by the authors. The authors applied, apart from the visualization in the form a map, the “Chernoff Faces” method (invented by Herman Chernoff in 1973). This method displays multivariate data on Polish counties in the shape of a human face. The individual parts, such as eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, represent values of the variables by their shape, size, placement, and orientation. The idea behind using faces is that humans easily recognize faces and notice small changes without difficulty. Chernoff Faces handle each variable differently.

The Relationship

Since the invention of the printing press, individuals have created and shared more information at increasing rates, and this has further accelerated with the proliferation of information technology and the increase in Internet accessibility. Humans' ability to absorb and process information has not evolved alongside the speed at which information can be created and shared. This chapter examines what impact this abundance of information has had on society and its ability to process, examine, and retain information. The relationship between information overload and society's ability to discern the veracity of information is discussed. The author makes recommendations for how individuals and organizations can harness their information overload and continue to discern fact from fiction and create a more truthful world.

The Individual

This chapter presents an overview on information and communication overload. The theme is contextualized and the main concepts are discussed based on the published literature. The individual, the organizational and the social perspectives are considered. To deepen this discussion, the authors developed a bibliometric analysis, which demonstrated the steady increase of interest in this topic, apparently enhanced by new developments in information technology. These technologies have presented solutions for some problems, but at the same time they have raised new issues of information overload. The bibliometric analysis also shows that many of these new issues are communication issues, contributing to justify our argument that, currently, the problems of information overload and communication overload are interrelated.

The development of information technology has led to the formation of the digital society, in which political, economic, social and other important for society processes are carried out. At the same time, the development of information technology has caused a number of ethical problems and conflicts associated with creation, dissemination and receipt of information that claims to be reliable, but not reliable. The phenomenon of post-truth holds a special place among these ethical problems and conflicts. Firstly, because everyone can face the post-truth. Secondly, because the negative consequences of post-truth can be dangerous both for an individual and for the whole society. The article distinguishes between concepts of post-truth, post-truth politics, lies and delusions. The main characteristics of post-truth, such as the illusion of reliability, based on uncritical perception of information, and the difficulty of verifying post-truth in the conditions of information overload, are discussed in this article. Some specific factors of the post-truth formation are identified and described: 1) institutional factors, which include legal and ethical-professional regulation of activities in the digital society; 2) technological factors, by which are meant those that have become possible with the development of media technologies on the Internet. The spread of post-truth has caused information disorientation, an atmosphere of distrust, ethical and other conflicts in the digital public sphere. This complicates the reflection of social reality and public discourse, which includes, among other things, the development of joint moral guidelines and the adoption of optimal decisions on socially significant issues. Ethical problems associated with the spread of post-truth are regarded as signs of a kind of crisis in the digital public sphere.

Rating Information

With the speedy development of network, information technology has provided an unmatched amount of information resources. It has also led to the problem of information overload. However, people experiences and knowledge often do not enough to process the vast amount of usable information. Thus, approaches to help find resources of interest have attracted much attention from researchers. And recommender systems have arrived to solve this problem. Recommender system plays an important role mainly in an electronic commerce environment as a new marketing strategy. Although a varied of recommendation techniques has been developed recently, collaborative filtering has been known to be the most successful recommendation techniques and has been used in a number of different applications. But traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm has the problem of sparsity. Aiming at the problem of data sparsity for personalized filtering systems, a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on user rating similarity and user attribute similarity is given. This approach not only considers the user item rating information, but also takes into account the user attribute.
