Eilene Zimmerman on getting information:

Americans spend a huge amount of time at home receiving information, an average of 11.8 hours per day.

Bytes of information consumed by U.S. individuals have grown at 5.4 percent annually since 1980, far less than the growth rate of computer and information technology performance.

Americans spend 41 percent of our information time watching television, but TV accounts for less than 35 percent of information bytes consumed.
