      We live in an attention economy. It's not a new idea. Yet, rather than paying for services and products that give us control over our attention, websites are free (gratis) at the expense of our attention. Something went terribly wrong.

      I conflate attention management and information retrieval often. Google puts the World's info at my finger tips -- incredible! ...but, an hour after a fleeting idea, I'm reading about bugs in Madagascar. Fast access is often at odds with the intentional allocation of attention.pic.twitter.com/WKy0BUBQLB

          (That photo was by @BuzardKurt. @Am_anatiala's extremely reasonable anger over failure to credit wildlife photogs is one positive effect of my twitter feed.)

          The gist of this all is that @facebook, @twitter, etc successfully exploit a defect in our perception. "'If you're not paying for the product, you are the product,' is a deeply true cliché. But for some reason, we don't notice we're getting swindled.

          And, I think that perceptual defect is related to how intoxicating and addictive instantaneous access to novelty is. Maybe we need some speed bumps?

          Oh, I just remembered this tweet from @fchollet. I think it's part of what's been percolating in my mind that I'm trying (sloppily) to convey in this thread.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1045827136076972032 …

          The most potent way to think about the world is analytically, from first principles, with a focus on the long-term. Nearly all of the media you consume daily steers you towards the opposite: a reactive mindset, based on shallow perceptions, processing the world minute-by-minute.

          Interesting, not heard the term "attention management" before ... any citations to offer in that line of thinking?

          The attention economy literature treats it as a scare resource. I don't think they say management though, it's usually allocation. But, it's been a while since I read any of it so don't count on me ;)
