The Attention Economy
Saved by sari
If we’re going to stand a chance of reclaiming our own attention, we have to really understand that our attention does have great value, to us, to our lives, to our well-being, to our collective future; it matters what we give our attention to.
Attention is a precious resource since our brains are cluttered with noise. Smart marketers make it easy for those they seek to work with, by helping position the offering in a way that resonates and is memorable.
Amid this constant surge of information, attention has become our most precious asset.
This is the attention economy. It wants to distract you from real life, shape who and what you love, and track it all in an ever-improving algorithm for the next moment you are stressed, tired, lonely, or simply acting on impulse. Take a scroll break—you’ll feel better.
contemporary society is based on an “attention economy.”
