What information consumes is rather obvious:
it consumes the attention of its recipients.
Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention
and a need to allocate that attention efficiently
among the overabundance of information sources
that might consume it.

Herbert Simon, Recipient of nobel Memorial Prize in economics1
and the A.M. turing Award, the “nobel Prize of Computer Science”
