Video by Clay Johnson on import of health information diet, big think website. April 24, 2013. Rescuetime.com--measures your intake of info on computer--makes you a more conscious consumer, how much time spending on email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Loves samebox.com--for pay subscription service--advanced spam filter, only puts important messages before you, emails you a digest at the end of every day of everything else Trying to live an ad free lifestyle--just as expensive as paying for content. ex--Domino's pizza commercial convinces you to buy pizza instead of making dinner. Use ad block on firefox and chrome to reduce exposure to ads. Cut cable to stop exposure to TV advertisements--"makes for weird bar conversations sometimes"

video by Clay Johnson on how our reactions to email (email apnea, heart rate, etc.) affect us and how we get trapped into our own bubbles ("minor media outlets" give us more and more of what we show interest in).

Be really conscious--Rescue.com--to study internet use to reflect and insert some diversity Go local--what's happening in your house, neighborhood, than national preoccupations Clicks have consequences--for yourself, other people when you read, you vote for it Go for source information, not package info-if you don't have literacy how to get over hurdle. Digital literacy is the future of literacy itself. Getting closer to source material--stay with mostly local news case for conscious consumption
