Open Question: The recent study 'How Much Information?' by the university of California, san diego?

estimates the total no of words 'consumed' in the US has more than doubled from 4500 trillion in 1980 to 10,845 trillion in 2008..Those estimates do not include people simply talking to one another. Total info consummation from TVs, computers and other media was estimated 3.6 zettabytes (3.6m million gigabytes) in 2008. The behaviour & thinking patterns and structure of our brain is changing due to this bombardment of information around us. It is probably not good for thinking deeper thoughts -Roger Bohri, co-author of the study. These generations are losing the tendency to think and feel and much of what they are exposed to is superficial. People are sacrificing depth and feeling and becoming cut off and disconnected from other people –Edward Hallowell, a newyork psychiatrist If the info load continues to increase, some scientists believe it will spur an evolution of the brain.
