Research In Information Overload
• "In the last 30 years mankind has produced more information than in the previous 5,000.“
• Juliet Schor, a Professor of Sociology at Boston College has stated, "Technology reduces the amount of time it takes to do any one task but also leads to the expansion of tasks that people are expected to do." (Reuters Magazine March/April of 1997)
• "Dr Dharma Singh Khalsa, in his book Brain Longevity, published in 1998... He says the average American sees 16,000 advertisements, logos, and labels in a day."
