Way back in 1971, Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon saw the tsunami coming. “What information consumes is rather obvious,” he wrote. “It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.” The consequence is that we’re consuming less and less of more and more. We want a little of everything, but not too much of anything. But the ethic of more, bigger, faster generates value that is narrow, shallow and short-term.— Tony Schwartz: The Death of Depth: Less and Less of More and More
