Welcome to the information age – 174 newspapers a day
Activer le mode zenRichard Alleyne
"The growth in the internet, 24-hour television and mobile phones means that we now receive five times as much information every day as we did in 1986.
"But that pales into insignificance compared with the growth in the amount of information we churn out through email, twitter, social networking sites and text messages.
"Every day the average person produces six newspapers worth of information compared with just two and a half pages 24 years ago - nearly a 200-fold increase.
"All this information needs storing and we now each have the equivalent of 600,000 books stored in computers, microchips and even the strip on the back of your credit card."
