Information Overload, Reading and Photographic Memory
Overwhelmed by information overload? Take a look at this!
According to statistics from WorldWideWebSize.com there are 7.39 billion pages on the internet and only 2,267,233,746 internet users. It is estimated that it would take one person 31,000 years to visit all sites available to them online without any sleep.

What would happen if you decided to become an expert in your chosen field? You would have to learn the information it takes to become that expert by reading information. We can’t just open a book and read it to become an expert. It takes at least four years of institutional studying, reading and due diligence. Or is there another way?
Where to find the information? On the Internet! But, you are still stuck with reading. Your PC can provide volumes in minutes, but you are still stuck with that same old way of doing things.
Using Your Photographic Memory for Internet Information
By the time you read the information available to make you an EXPERT in your chosen field, most of that information would be obsolete.
Let’s put your brain to work. If you were to reverse-engineer what we have just covered, where is the bottleneck? What is stopping you from covering the required information in only a little time?
The bigger the internet gets, the more information there is. The more we want to consume it. This has to stop somewhere. And it will.
Reading
The biggest problem here is it stops you from taking ACTION. When you try to consume more and more information every day, you start to notice that even though you’ve been reading tons of articles, eBooks, press release and so on the stream of incoming information seems to be overwhelming.
Therefore, you most likely will convince yourself that you need to be on a constant lookout for new information if you want to be able to accomplish anything in your life, work and/or passion.
What is your reading average – Photographic Memory
Reading speed averages ~250 words per minute – usually less than one page in a minute.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could cover information like a living breathing computer, accessing millions of words per minute? Wouldn’t it be great if you could be filling your mind with 25,000, 100,000, even 200,000 words per minute? What about that photographic memory that you were born with?
Well, you better not take too long to think about it. You are not just being left in the dust; you are buried and pushing up posies! Watch out, another day gone, here comes another billion pages at you.
