BioThe secret of being boring is to say everything.
Voltaire (1694 - 1778), Discours en vers sur l'homme (1737)
What is allowed us is disagreeable, what is denied us causes us intense desire.
Ovid (43 BC - 17 AD), Amorum, Book 2, 19, 3
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 Simon, economist
