With the bombardment of data being fired at the average person daily how much of it is valuable to you? What per cent of the info. is usefull? How much social media trash talk do we concentrate on versus perhaps a great philosopher's words? (Are there any great philosophers left?) What would you call this era or time compared to "The Age of Enlightenment? Is the info. explosion good or bad for you, example (and a small one) you are looking at a TV screen and you see how many different info. blocks? Perhaps two running tapes at the bottom, one block in the left hand corner and another on the right, more than one person talking. Isn't this like being a a room with several people talking at you at the same time? How many websites do you visit in one day at work and at home? How many apps on your phone? How many radio stations do you have to choose from? How many TV channels do you have to choose from? Is it weird to walk in to a club and see a dozen TVs on at the same time? Everywhere we go there is active media on the streets, the buildings, store windows, in peoples hands, buses, airplanes, trains, cabs, trucks. People walk with head phones on while watching their cell phones.
Do you ever want to just throw the circuit breaker switch and say "STOP"! We used to be able to take vacations to "get away from it all" but how often can we do that now days and if you attempt to don't forget your cell phone!!
