globfrag
n.— «Maybe you’ve heard of globfrag. Coined from the words globalization and fragmentation, globfrag means that scattered and uncertain state of mind created by increased technology and contradictory knowledge. It means the inability to focus that comes from knowing very little about a great number of things. It’s that feeling you get when clarity breaks up in an ocean of infinite and ever-changing data.» —“The Urban Man: An Ugly New Word” by Marc Porter Zasada KCRW (Santa Monica, California) July 23, 2007.
