Quote of the day: Herbert A. Simon

Posted on by

Herbert A. Simon

 

“In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention” – Herbert Simon

    I couldn't have said it better. Every day we're drowned with information. Makes it really hard to distinguish which voice is really your own sometimes.
