Are you addicted to information?
How much time do you spend keeping updated? During the course of a normal day – checking email; reading news articles (online or print); texting with family, friends and co-workers; catching up on Facebook posts; tweeting about your latest exploits – there’s a lot of information that comes at us. The skill is in selectively tuning in to some while tuning out others.
We watched a YouTube video last week that claimed an estimate of a week’s worth of information from the New York Times contains more info than someone living in the 1700’s would conceivably learn in a lifetime … and that’s just one source of print material. And yet, we still seem to need more.
But is more necessarily better?
