Introduction

We live in a world where information grows rapidly. It is projected that the amount of information in the world doubles every 5 years. However, biologically, our eyes stays the same as our fore-fathers. How are we to keep up with the amount of reading?

The 'overload' will therefore increase unless the brain receiving that information is powerful enough and/or skilled enough to deal with it.
