Attention

In the beginning, there were desktop computers. They were fine, but they couldn’t go mobile. Then processors shrank, and computers became mobile. Now there’s a screen in your pocket. As processors and batteries improved, computing moved to the wrist. A quick glance keeps you connected.

Next, it moved to glasses. Then companies experimented with smart contact lenses. Some even started working on brain implants.

Computing expands to consume all available attention. It grows so it can’t be ignored.
