Clay Johnson, author of The Information Diet (http://amzn.to/infodiet)

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/c/a/c/event_90416492.jpeg (http://amzn.to/infodiet)"The modern human animal spends upwards of 11 hours out of every 24 in a state of constant consumption. ...texts, instant messages, emails, RSS feeds, downloads, videos, status updates, and tweets."

Clay will talk about why awareness of our daily information consumption is as critical as awareness of the food we eat. What we can do to build a movement of other conscious consumers? What will change if we do?

Digital media guru Alan Rosenblatt will facilitate a discussion with Clay after the presentation.
