Hello Adventurers! 

The past week was very engaging for us, especially for the people living in Pakistan, as we exercised our freedom to vote and chose our new leader for the next five years. One thing I observed is that from generation to generation, people are evolving to learn different skills or retain knowledge. The old tradition was simply to memorize, but this new era is changing everything. For example, Apple's vision pro is revolutionizing the experience of using laptops and mobile phones, marking a significant technological advancement. Recently, the team at Askwonder delved into the scale of content consumption in their article “How much Information do we Learn Everyday?”. According to a report by the University of California–San Diego, the average person consumes about 34 gigabytes of data & information every day. That estimated to be the equivalent of 100,000 words heard or read every day– or about how many words in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit (95,356 words).

How much data can an average human brain process every day?

The processing capacity of our mind is estimated to be 120 bits per second. For context, In order to understand one person speaking to us, we need 60 bps in order to process– To (barely) understand two people, we need at least 120 bps.

Scientists found that an average person today can process as much as 74 gigabytes (GB) of data a day.

Here's what you could do with that kind of data:

• Stream every episode of Game of Thrones (73 episodes, ~1GB each)

• Stream every piece of music ever composed by both Vivaldi (235 hrs) & Mozart (240 hrs) (6.6 hrs/GB)

• Read every article on Wikipedia 3.6x over (As of 3/22, the compressed size of all of Wikipedia's articles is about 20.6 GB)

I wonder how we can retain such information. Then I read about the forgetting curve aka Ebbinghaus's "Learning Curve" illustrates that when you first learn something, the information disappears at an exponential rate. In other words, you lose most of your newly acquired knowledge in the first couple of days, after which the rate of loss tapers off.

I also watched a very good web show on Netflix called 'The Killer Paradox.' It's a captivating psychological thriller. If you enjoy watching web series, you must check it out

Love,

Ammar
