(
slang) Formed from the combination of
Internet and
amnesia, internesia is the inability to remember which
Web site or other Internet-related location (such as
e-mail or
newsgroups) specific information came from. The more one uses the Internet, the more information one is exposed to.
Bookmarking pages is one tool that helps users remember favorite Internet sites or backtrack to important information, but often bookmarking too many pages will only contribute to internesia.
