Is the Economy of our Attention
\nthe Economy of Bits and Pieces ?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For many centennia, the focus of our Attention has been on stuff: pieces of substance, based on atomic matter. <\/span><\/span>Can you now imagine a world without any memory chips, computers, cell phones, and Internet? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The focus of Attention is on non-substantial, sub-atomic matter, such as digital bits, quantum particles of energy + information, that has led to all of today’s technologies. <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Are our own bits of Attention then becoming the key commodities? We know we always have plenty of Attention-energy particles available when we are awake. However, our waking hours are limited and our days are “numbered”. So,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span> How do we optimize our continuing supply of attention-energy particles ?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span> By minimizing our drifting & stuck attention-energy bits !!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

IBM researchers announced that they have\u00a0 reduced the number of magnetized atoms required to create a bit of data from about 1 Million to only 12, using a scanning tunneling microscope and an atomically precise anti-ferro-magnet, where atoms spin in opposite directions. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This allowed them to create a magnet memory that is at least 100 times denser than today’s hard disk drives and solid-state memory chips, where iron atoms are lined up with the same magnetic polarization, requiring greater distance between them.
