Infobesity. It’s affecting all of us. I’ve thought about this a lot. Because information is so easily accessible now, and because there’s so much of it, it’s actually made learning new things harder, slower, and sluggish. And boy do we crave our content around topics of interest, don’t we? Learning quickly and acquiring skills fast is now equivalent to how well one can filter all of the information that’s out there, and how to manage all of the new information that algorithms put in front of our face. This concept of how to best navigate learning in the world today is what I’m calling Lean Learning, and it’s what my new book is about. No pub date yet, but the urge to get this out there is becoming more and more in my heart, for my kids, my audience, and generations to come in this giant info-buffet of a world we all live in now. First impressions, gut reaction?
