Listen "Attention and Distraction"
Episode Synopsis
The HBS hosts focus their attention on... oh, look, a squirrel!It is said that we are living in an attention economy, an age in which attention has become both a scarce resource and a source of wealth. Devices and apps do everything in their power to solicit our attention and keep us glued to our screens, turning minutes scrolling and clicks into revenue. Because of this demand on our attention, distraction has become an ongoing problem; from the road to the classroom we are worried that we are not truly paying attention. Is it time to pay attention to attention, to reflect on how we perceive what we perceive and why? What might it mean to reclaim our attention?Full episode notes at this link:http://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-80-attention-and-distraction-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!
