Description
Both the accelerating pace of life and the amount of information we are expected to process trouble many of us. The keynote speaker will develop the notion of information environmentalism as a response to the torrent of 24/7 media and information that is upsetting the balance of our lives. Coping strategies, including preservation of space and time for reading, contemplation, and reflection, will be discussed.
