People's ability to absorb information is limited

How do you know what's happening in your world?The amount of information just a click away may be limitless,but the time and energy we have to absorb and evaluate it is not.All the information in the world won't be very useful unless you know how to read the news.To your grandparents, parents,or even older siblings,this idea would have sounded strange.Only a few decades ago, news was broad-based.Your choices were limited to a couple of general interest magazines and newspaper of record,and three or four TV networks where trusted newscasters delivered the day's news at the same reliable time every evening.
