The unability to sleep due to much interest in the world around you. Common distractions are video games, television, movies, books, magazines, newspapers, facebook, youtube, twitter, blogs etc.
Before I could sleep last night I had to update my Facebook status, my Twitter page, check five news sites, create a post on my blog, reply to eight emails, comment on a forum, watch the latest recommended clips on YouTube and try to find out what Google Wave is really good for.

The process of informatisation aims to enhance the knowledge base of its target audience thereby enabling them to make more informed decisions.
Informatisation usually takes place through or with the aid of a technological medium such as a tablet PC like Apple's iPad or iPhone.
