It concluded that the average adult was exposed to more than 100,000 words daily and 34 gigabytes of information - or a fifth of the storage capacity of a notepad computer.

Constant computer use may also be 'infantalising' the brain, making it harder to learn when things to wrong.

And since you post about 100,000 words a day, what does that say about YOUR brain, PN?

Mike may snark, but he has a point. John, you do tend to join in the information overload, which is part of why people don't see the information. It's the jewish knight of the british empire of molech that does it.

You could post tweet sized stuff, and people would read it, if it were infodense.

I notice on the pie chart that television STILL accounts for almost 50% of daily exposure for the average person. I have to say, as a medium that offers no user interactivity, that this is distressing. People who spend almost fifty percent of their time WATCHING have no idea about the DOING. Of course they make mistakes, and even repeat them. 50% of their experience is fictional television shows and news (also fiction).

However, that's not to say there isn't a point here about some of the other medium. Often we're told what/how to think instead of how to question. As this also interferes with the slower-paced interaction of day to day life, this may be causing the emotional stunting we're seeing in the younger generation. Less time to use, develop, and evolve more mature emotional states.

I don't think it's the words themselves though. It's not like people didn't have conversations before now (the study included phones and radios), and a person could easily read 100,000 words a day if they read a book. 100,000 words is just a 200 page novel. It's kind of nice to know people are exposed to that equivalent... Even though they should probably read more books. Lots of complex ideas take more than thirty seconds to explain, and such a volume can currently only be expressed either in book form or many long-winded webpages. To learn deep ideas and indulge in deep thinking takes some time investment and requires a longer attention span, this is true.

I beg to differ with the report.

WHAT a person sees/hears/reads/sleeps determines whether a brain can compute or turns to jello.

Disinfo in = retard out.

Repetition is the mother of brainwashing. Corporate media lies certainly cause brain damage. (Danger Will Robinson, Fox does not compute.)

In the infowar, proficiency comes from shooting infobullets at the forum firing range. More is better. Truth News, by definition, is critical thinking by exercising your brain, which grows new synapses. Like running a marathon, pumping iron in a gym, or playing semipro sports.

The ADD epidemic is from sabotage by mercury vaccines, mercury teeth, aspartame, MSG, white sugar, aluminum/barium chemtrails, fluroide, alcohol, pot, coke, meth, heroin, LSD, prozac, ritalin, etc. Avoid those poisons and IQ goes up.

But yeah, I do have ADD from kidney failure. But since that diagnosis, I've won trials in 4 courts, gotten 100 govt crooks fired, won a $10,000 1st prize for best collegiate website, won 2 awards in Hollywood, started my own TV and radio shows, among other advantages.

Problem with FFF is not enough permanent thread headings in RWED. Too much news for one little section.

Just 2 of my threads have gotten over 15,000 visits on RWED. Part of my marketing strategy is recruiting for FFF. Lure newbies to RWED via search engines, flip em to free Fanfic. Better than crack. (evil laff)

Surfing 1,000 channels substitutes as "interactivity", which certainly causes ADD.

Web TV is the exception, but it depends what is surfed for. Most sheeple probably surf for Britney Spears, fart jokes and viagra.
