“…We exist in a complex communication ecology, in which our absolute amount of time (Miritello, Moro, et al, ), cognitive capacity for processing information (Cowan, ; Marois & Ivanoff, ), and ability to establish and maintain relationships (Arnaboldi, Guazzini, & Passarella, ; Dunbar, Arnaboldi, Conti, & Passarella, ; Gonçalves, Perra, & Vespignani, ; LaRose, Connolly, Lee, Li, & Hales, ; Liang & Fu, ; Mac Carron, Kaski, & Dunbar, ; Miritello, Lara, Cebrian, & Moro, , ; Zhao et al, ) are limited, whereas the potential for producing more information is virtually unlimited (Hilbert, , ; Hilbert & López, ). We interact in an attention economy in which every communicative activity competes at multiple levels with alternative activities (Ciampaglia, Flammini, & Menczer, ; Huberman, ; Miritello, Lara, et al, , ; Wagner, ; Weng et al, ), especially as information and connection overload nears (Feng et al, ; LaRose et al, ; K. K. Stephens et al, ).…”
