Emile Durkheim's theory of anomie suggests that a lack of social norms and guidance can lead to a breakdown in social order and an increase in deviant behavior. With the Information Revolution and unlimited access to information, there is a concern that individuals may suffer from a form of "informational anomie" where they are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and lack guidance on how to use it effectively.
