By Alexander Ross
Internet trends usually burn out quickly, exhausted by overuse and corporate sponsorship. The "Types of Headaches" chart avoids this decay because its utility is functional rather than seasonal.

As digital life becomes increasingly complicated, cluttered with automated customer service queues, software updates, and information overload, the occasions that trigger genuine cognitive fatigue only multiply.
