Thanks to Kim Lindsey for sending along this thought-provoking quote:
From Nobel laureate economist Herbert Simon:
"What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it."
