The Information Diet
The Information Diet
An interesting book, but I think it was marketed incorrectly and still is. Everywhere you see it mentioned, it's all about attention and where you put yours, what you take in and such. From the back of the book:
In The Information Diet, you will:Discover why eminent scholars are worried about our state of attention and general intelligence Examine how today's media—Big Info—give us exactly what we want: content that confirms our beliefs Learn to take steps to develop data literacy, attention fitness, and a healthy sense of humor Become engaged in the economics of information by learning how to reward good information providers Just like a normal, healthy food diet, The Information Diet is not about consuming less—it's about finding a healthy balance that works for you
