Social scientist Herbert Simon wrote in 1971
IN AN information rich world, the wealth of information means the death of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence the wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.
- quote pulled from Chris Anderson's latest book, Free.
