Bit Literacy shows you how to navigate the innumerable streams of digital information that flow towards us every single day and not become paralyzed or a slave to technology, thanks to a few simple systems to manage your media.

Less than 20 years ago, you could count your sources of information on one hand. There was the newspaper, the television, the radio, and, depending on how deep you wanted to go, books.

Now, there's over one billion websites online, hundreds of social networks, and more and more people choosing themselves and starting podcasts, blogs, self-published books, and so on.

There seems to be no limit to the number of what computer scientist and Creative Good founder Mark Hurst calls 'bitstreams' - digital wells of data.

In this book, Hurst provides helpful strategies to keep us from crumbling under the weight of infinite information.
