people see 1mb of information a second

The concept of information overload is an old chestnut… but I’ve not seen it expressed so bluntly in these terms before. No wonder my hard drive fills up so quick...

Thanks Eneas, and thanks for your image. It reminds me of that wonderful old movie 'Brazil' :-)

I'm afraid the photostream gets a bit muddied at times as I use the same account for everything (I can't face the hassle of having separate accounts and logins), but if you stick to the Interesting Snippets set then it's all this kind of stuff.
