The Information Diet - A Case for Conscious Consumption About
the Information Diet Healthy information consumption habits are
about more than productivity and efficiency. They're about your
personal health, and the health of society. Just as junk food
can lead to obesity, junk information can lead to new forms of
ignorance. The Information Diet provides a framework for
consuming information in a healthy way, by showing you what to
look for, what to avoid, and how to be selective. In the
process, author Clay Johnson explains the role information has
played throughout history, and why following his prescribed diet
is essential in today's information age. With this book, you’ll
learn: - The relationship between power, authority, and
information since the dawn of the first major information-
technology boom - How people react to information consumption,
according to cognitive science and neuroscience findings - How
the new, information-abundant society is suffering consequences
from poor information consumption ha
