Quotations from Brainy Smurf 73

"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." --Herbert Alexander Simon, economist, Nobel laureate (1916-2001)
