Our days are filled with information competing for attention. So where can you go to learn what you don’t know that you need to know?

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Our brains can process 240 billion bits of information each and every minute. All too often we accept what we see, hear and are told, to be the whole of all that we need to know as we would be overwhelmed having to determine what was relevant by the bit.

To accommodate this avalanche of stuff we have become dependent on branded sources for our information gathering. Unfortunately, the commercial necessities of servicing a mass audience can also render the individually brilliantly bit as mundane if at that moment the inbound isn’t relevant.

For those that extend themselves to define their own information filters and exercise the extra rigor to learn from doing THE KEY WORLDWIDE presents its summer program for those who invest in their passions: LA Film Academy, Automotive Design and Engineering, Apple World, Ideas Festival and Business Entrepreneurship.

The passion of genius.
