Using Readsy & Pocket to Read Faster + Conquer the 24/7 News Cycle
This century is undeniably the age of information overload. “Information is so dense that most people cannot consume enough to ferret out what is real,” as Yorke E. Rhodes III brilliantly described.
Breaking down this statement there are two problems evident:
- #1: Human brains can no longer process info faster than it is produced
- #2: Due to #1, human brains can no longer parse out fact from fiction
While there are some interesting projects working on verifying truth and spotting fake news, I want to focus on the first problem.
