innovation, with a wide range of forms
and contexts for transforming the

obvious: it consumes the attention of its
recipients. Hence a wealth of information

– Social Scientist Herbert Simon (1971)

16.
ATTENTION ECONOMY
“Attention is focused mental engagement
on a particular item of information. Items
come into our awareness, we attend to a

PAGES TO STREAMS
“This isn’t an inbox we have to empty, or a page we have
to get to the bottom of — its a flow of data that we can
dip into at will but we can’t attempt to gain an all
encompassing view of it.”
― John Borthwick, VC focusing on the Real-time Web

“What you are about to hear
today is revolutionary – not only
because this is the first time
that this is applied in the world –
it is revolutionary because we
are making a deliberate effort to
GIVE THE PEOPLE THE POWER
that science gives to us,
enabling them to use it freely.”

SLOW MOVEMENT
“It is the need to belong. The need for
nearness and care, and for a little love!
This is given only through slowness in
human relations. In order to master
changes, we have to recover
slowness, reflection and
togetherness.”
– Guttorm Fløistad
