Did You Read What I Said, or Did You Hear What You Expected Me to Say?
A conversation about information overload, emotional triggers, assumptions, and staying calibrated in an increasingly noisy world.
We are surrounded by more information than ever before. Sometimes a single word or emotionally charged idea can influence how we interpret everything that follows. In this video, I explore how emotional triggers, assumptions, and information overload can affect our thinking—and why learning to pause and recalibrate may be more important than ever.
This is the first video edition of The Frequency, taking an idea that would traditionally be explored as an article and delivering it as a conversation instead. Some ideas are better explored through writing, while others are better explored through conversation. This one felt like something worth talking about.

Doug Fessler is a technology coordinator, IT consultant, and technology educator based in Pennsylvania. Through his work with organizations, schools, and community programs, he works directly with the technology infrastructure that increasingly connects our everyday lives... from networks and cloud services to emerging technologies, STEM education, and artificial intelligence.
Doug writes The Frequency to explore the intersection of technology, people, communities, and the world we are building around them. His goal isn't to tell readers what to think, but to ask better questions about where technology is taking us... and what responsibility we have for the future we are creating.
This article was written by Douglas E. Fessler. AI-assisted tools were used to structure and clarify complex concepts — a reflection, in itself, of the subject explored.
