Exciting times
      1) Everything that’s already in the world when
      you’re born is just normal
      2) Anything that gets invented between then
      and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting
      and creative and with any luck you can make
      a career out of it;
      3) Anything that gets invented after you’re
      thirty is against the natural order of things and
      the beginning of the end of civilisation as we
      know it until it’s been around for about ten
      years when it gradually turns out to be alright
      really.
                                     – Douglas Adams

The Attention Economy




                           “Wanting people to listen, you can’t just tap
                           them on the shoulder anymore. You have to
                           hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you’ll
                           notice you’ve got their strict attention”
                                                                - John Doe
