What happens when smart people try to figure out how to monetize human attention? What if attention could actually be assessed in a financial way? What if attention could be securitized and traded on stock markets? Thoughts and questions sparked by this most interesting blog post and this one both of which, well, captured my attention. Perhaps the expression "paying attention" will actually end up meaning something. Perhaps we will also create new expressions like "attention is money"... Fascinating and scary in certain ways.
This is a truly intriguing article that prompts reflection on our appreciation for intangible aspects, such as attention. As someone involved in accounting dissertation editing services Uk, I find it fascinating to explore how financial concepts might relate to something like attention. If we are able to assign a value to it, assess it, and potentially exchange it, what implications does that have for personal data and privacy? Exciting times are on the horizon.
