‘Infographics: visual fast food for information overload’ – ‘Econsultancy’ Blog
The latest ‘Econsultancy’ blog post is titled “Infographics: visual fast food for information overload”.
Shelli Walsh says, “Did you know that 100 years ago it was expected the average person would only read 100 books in their entire lifetime?
In 2007, following research, it was estimated that the average person is exposed to the equivalent of one newspaper (85 pages) of information every 5.5 minutes during the day (based on an average day of 16 hours and 174 papers a day).
That is a tidal wave of facts, figures, stories, data, images and mental junk. Interestingly, infographics (as a term) has seen explosive growth online in the last three years with a rise of more than 20 times in search volume for the keyword”.
