The Crisis of Attention Theft—Ads That Steal Your Time for Nothing in Return, Tim Wu

“By now, it is pretty well understood that we regularly pay for things in ways other than using money. Sometimes we pay still with cash. But we also pay for things with data, and more often, with our time and attention. We effectively hand over access to our minds in exchange for something “free,” like email, Facebook, or football games on TV. As opposed to “paying” attention, we actually “spend attention,” agreeing to the view ads in exchange for something we really want.”

Smart Phones Are the New Cigarettes, Mark Manson

“Their inability to focus interferes with our (already-fragile) ability to focus. The same way second-hand smoke harms the lungs of people around the smoker, smartphones harm the attention and focus of people around the smartphone user. It hijacks our senses. It forces us to pause our conversations and redouble our thoughts unnecessarily. It causes us to lose our train of thought and forget that important point we were constructing in our head.”

When hit by a global pandemic, we had to come up with a way that we could still showcase all the students in their graduating year even if a second wave came through and shut everything down. The virtual gallery experience was the brainchild of Luke O'Donnell. My role was to work with each program head to create every gallery, then with assistance from @jemmagillard
