The 100,000 words a day that ruin our concentration | Mail Online

Having trouble concentrating on this story? It could be because your brain is bombarded with more than 100,000 words a day.

The average adult hears or reads 100,500 words a day, research shows.

And the 'day' takes into account only waking hours outside work - meaning the true figure is much higher.

It concluded that the average adult was exposed to more than 100,000 words daily and 34 gigabytes of information - or a fifth of the storage capacity of a notepad computer.

Discuss. (If you can concentrate that is. )

Why a more sedate rural life is best.

Less input and more time to analyze it.
That equals less stress and better decisions.

Does that include multiple meanings of the same word? For instance I hear the f-word at least 100 times a day, however sometimes its used as a verb, a noun, an adjective, as an insult, a threat, a compliment, etc.
