All chubby and super-nourished

This time it’s information I’m talking about though, not food.
American households are exposed to 34 Gigabytes of data and information.
Each year?
No, each day!
It’s the result of research by the University of California, San Diego on how Americans behave in front of the computer, TV, radio, cell phone, and videogame console.
But the risk of indigestion is high, almost unavoidable in fact. It means digesting 100,000 words every day, a quarter of those contained in the tome War and Peace by Tolstoy.
According to San Diego University estimates, American households consumed 3.6 zettabytes of data and information in 2008.
A monstrous amount, when you compare it with the fact that the biggest commercial data warehouses in the world have a storage capacity of slightly more than a petabyte*.
So what are the potential remedies? Like food, to consume less. To use the medium in an appropriate way, to use correct form and to not disabuse it. Easy to say, not so very easy to do.
* Units of Information:
1 Terabyte = 1000 Gigabytes
1 Petabyte = 1000 Terabytes
1 Exabyte = 1000 Petabytes
1 Zettabyte = 1000 Exabyte
