One reason you need the ability to Pract The Facts is based on the amount of information you receive on a daily basis. Just how much? Well according to a report in 2009 by the University of San Diego it's a bunch. The estimate is that the average person process about 100,500 or 34 gigabytes of content a day. Of course you don't actually read all of this however this represents the amount of information that you are exposed to on any given day. The graph below shows the source of all this infomation.
HMI Report/UC San Diego A graph from the report illustrating the dissection of words consumed each day.
So where does this exposure to this information come from? Based on the research here is how it breaks down:
Computer ……. 2 hours per day
Television……..4.5 hours per day
Reading………..1.1 hour per day
Radio…………….5 hours per day
Telephone….1.13 hours per day
Other………….5 hours per day…pc, handhelds, signs, t-shirts etc.
