Is the Data Monster on Your Back?

By , About.com GuideMay 19, 2010

Follow me on:

I don't think any of us need to be reminded that we are all drowning in data...and a lot of us enjoy data...just not the drowning part.

NTEN is trying to do something about that. They quote research that claims Americans consume 3.6 zettabytes of information per day. One zettabyte is one billion trillion bytes. We are overwhelmed and our donors and supporters are even more so. Can you help them make sense of the information that you send them?

The answer is yes, and NTEN is sponsoring an online event called Taming the Data Monster that will help. The event will take place on July 29 from 10 am to 12:30 pm, Pacific Time. The cost is only $50 for NTEN members and $100 for non-members. You can learn more and register here.
