π€― INFORMATION OVERLOAD π€―
Information scientists have found that the average person living today processes as much as 74 gigabytes (GB) of information a day through TV, computers, cell phones, tablets, billboards, and many other gadgets.
74,000,000,000 Bytes. Thatβs the equivalent of watching 16 movies, reading over 200,000 words, or scrolling on TikTok for nearly 200 hours.
And every year, our brains take in 5% more information than the previous year.
To further put this into context, consider this:
only 500 years ago, 74 GB of information would be what a highly educated person consumed in a lifetime, through books and stories.

Furthermore, in 2011 alone, we took in five times as much information every day as people did in 1986 β the equivalent of 174 newspapers.
