We live in this age of information overload or rather a deluge. Here are some interesting statistics of what one deals with on a daily basis:
- 90% of all the data in the world has been generated over the last two years
- Indians spend 5 hours a day consuming content in one form or other (National Book Trust)
- “Between the dawn of civilization through 2003 about 5 exabytes of information was created. Now, that much information created every 2 days” (Eric Schmidt – former Google CEO)
- 28% of office workers time is spent dealing with emails
