Chapter 1
Social media feeds and 24/7 news channels, we open up the spigots of information every day, sometimes multiple at a time. We let it manipulate our thoughts, perceptions, emotions and behaviors. We then become a source that regurgitates it to our friends, family and colleagues or visa versa.
We are so habituated to our relationship with information that is akin to the air around us, that we breathe in to exist. We feel it to be a vital dependency so we open up the aperture and let it all in. An information habitat that we do not attempt to have full control over or even see it as an addiction/problem.
