1. The piece is arguing that if information isn't broken down, bulleted, or basically told to us, we don't really know how to process it. When we're given a huge chunk of information, we basically try to scan it to find out what it's about, and the important meaning of it instead of actually reading the whole thing and understanding everything.
2. The whole piece is a hyperbole. The author is exaggerating how all of a sudden the world receives a chunk of information, and everything basically halts. By doing this, the author is able to evoke feelings in the reader. When we start reading, we start questioning what the information was that was received and try to figure out what it means. But the author's point was that it doesn't matter what the information is, if it isn't clearly defined, we usually skip over it, and view it as unimportant.
