===Email bankruptcy=== {{main|Email bankruptcy}} Also known as "email fatigue", email bankruptcy is when a user ignores a large number of email messages after falling behind in reading and answering them. The reason for falling behind is often due to information overload and a general sense there is so much information that it is not possible to read it all. As a solution, people occasionally send a "boilerplate" message explaining that their email inbox is full, and that they are in the process of clearing out all the messages. [[Harvard University]] law professor [[Lawrence Lessig]] is credited with coining this term, but he may only have popularized it.<ref>{{cite news|title=All We Are Saying.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/23/weekinreview/23buzzwords.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=December 23, 2007|access-date=2007-12-24|first=Grant|last=Barrett|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417094849/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/23/weekinreview/23buzzwords.html|archive-date=April 17, 2009}}</ref>
