Linda Stone gave a fantastic talk at ETech, continuing to build out her thesis on the changing ways we pay attention. Her talk began by orienting the audience in the same way as her 2005 Supernova talk, but it then went into new territory. Continuous partial attention is neither good nor bad, it just is. And like all evolved techniques, there are situations in which it's useful and situations in which it's a hindrance. Her thoughts on the new strategies we're building were, with Clay's magnificent talk, the highlights of the conference for me.
