information zombie

1. One who continually, mindlessly, and voraciously consumes information (usually in electronic forms such as podcasts, news and entertainment sites/feeds, blogs, etc.) without the intention or effect of learning, retaining, or integrating any of what is read or heard.

2. Someone who consumes information just for information's sake

NOTE: Analogous to a traditional zombies in that the abstract object of consumption (ideas) is generated by the activity of the traditional, physical object of zombie consumption (brains).

She's such an information zombie, she spends half the day zoned out on her newsfeed.
