I ran across a startling infographic I thought I'd share with you. It's on the website Information Is Beautiful, at http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/cognitive-surplus-visualized/. US adults spend roughly 200 billion hours (combined) watching TV each year. By contrast, it took just 100 million hours to create Wikipedia.
All of us at one time or another have wished we had more time. But have we stopped to think about how we're using the time we have? Are we contributing more to mindless activities like watching TV, or are we using our time for more worthwhile pursuits?
It's something to think about, the next time you reach for the remote control.
