| The average person is exposed to some 34GB of electronic data every day, according to a recent study. Researchers at the University of California San Diego said that a recent survey of Americans showed that the consumers in the US on average look at some 3.4 zettabytes (3,400 trillion gigabytes) of digital information each year. The study added digital information consumed through television, computer, radio and recorded audio that each person observes. The intake, however, may not be as evenly spread out as the 34GB per person figure would suggest. While researchers note that users are spending more time absorbing electronic information, much of the massive data load was attributed to richer, more dense digital data sources. The overwhelming majority of the data load came from intake of data from computer games, movies and television. Gaming in particular accounted for 54% of all data intake, with high-end PC gaming alone accounting for 38.56% of the total. Researchers suggested that the recent leaps in graphics and processing power in high performance gaming is causing a smaller percentage of the population to consume a massive amount of digital information in the form of richer, more detailed 3D imagery. | |
