4. HOW WE CONSUME INFORMATION
1.When was the last
time you settled into a
chair in your office to
read through a long,
printed report?
2.When was the last
time you clicked through
a link to an infographic in
your email to find out
about results?
6. THE VOLUME OF INFORMATION GROWS
“As a global community,
we write and post some
3.6 trillion words to the
internet every day—
that’s roughly equal to
the contents of the entire
Library of Congress.”
