We’re so accustomed to the scale of attention that we get from visitation to bricks-and-mortar buildings that it’s difficult to understand how big the Internet is— and how much attention, curiosity, and creativity a couple of billion people can have.’ — Michael Peter Edson https://medium.com/@mpedson/dark-matter-a6c7430d84d1
