We are exposed to 34 gigabytes of information each day

Information overload appears to have reached epidemic proportions…

Through emails, texting, internet surfing, reading and other media, our brains are being deluged with increasing quantities of information. Although we may not actively read 100,000 words a day, that is the approximate number reaching our eyes and ears. Add images, such as videos and computer games, and we are faced with the equivalent of 34 gigabytes of information each day – enough to overload the typical laptop inside a week.
