This Sunday, April 26 – HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE EVER-GROWING INFORMATION EXPLOSION? – Ed O'Keefe
We humans are now able to access 5 billion billion items (!) of new data every month due to the human race's ever-expanding information explosion. How do we protect ourselves from being overwhelmed by this unprecedented challenge to our brains and psyches? Using some old principles of time management and recent findings from current brain research, Ed will lead us in discussing some of the implications on individuals and society of this startling and ever-accelerating rate of change. A recent book by Daniel J. Levitin,The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload will be referenced in the discussion.
Presenter: Ed O'Keefe was a college administrator and teacher of Time Management 'in the olden days'. He and his wife, Romella, are the coordinators of this Forum.
