      our daily intake of information is equivalent to 100,000 words, or [174 newspapers] depending on who you ask.

      holy smokes.. this is such a fascinating statistic, it has me curious on how much of this information we engage with that we truly comprehend.

      If you think you can permanently seal off your life from the celebrity news, content marketing, and spammy friends that dominate the web, the NSA has a job for you.

      Comical, but true. Makes you think of the true vitality of a "Save it Later" or "starred" list in Readup's case ;)

      If no paradigm is right, you can choose whatever one will help to achieve your purpose.

      Distinguishing the signal from the noise...Yes. It doesn't matter where the information you are consuming is, regardless it as a continually challenging task to focus on what it is, that you would like to learn. Categorizing your interests, research areas and etc.. and developing a skillful approach to attacking this. Rather than jumping on the first bit of click-bait we may come across.

      Taking a unique approach to the information you choose to spend your time with (with an app like Readup) ; rather than approaching them in byte-size nuggets via social media is critical to ensuring you spend time learning the ideas that you are curious about.
