Information overload, to be or not to be....

Challenge #130

Our media is on overload in this society, in my opinion.  Everywhere you look there is sensory stimulation overload in internet, tv and radio advertising, news and programming. Tickers of all sorts run incessantly,  creating overwhelm and drastically affecting the patterns of our thinking, expectations and absorption of information, numbing and dumbing us down.

For one day, I challenge you to focus on one source of information and one only.  Be it one newspaper, one tv station, one radio station, one internet source and notice the patterns of interruptions of advertising in the programming or information feed. Notice the distractions before the content. Do you believe all that you read or hear or see on there? Notice if you are wanting more or less, or, are you satisfied with what is given to you....
