Quote of the Day (Herbert Simon, on the Inverse Relationship Between Information and Attention)


“What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.”— Nobel Prize-winning economist Herbert Simon (1916–2001), “Designing Organizations for an Information-Rich World" in Computers, Communication, and the Public Interest, edited by Martin Greenberger (1971)
