2 Thoughts on "The Attention Economy — Coming To a Theater Near You"
The numbers representing the amount of time left reminded me too

A woman there had a line of numbers on her forearm and my mother
explained to me that it was from the camp. Can’t look at those numbers
without thinking concentration camp. Looks interesting but don’t think
I could sit through looking at all those numbered forearms.
Aside from that–interesting concept. Maybe I’ll wait a few years to watch.
I hadn’t heard of this movie. Sounds very interesting. I’ll be there.
