The Attention Economy: Are We Losing Control Over Our Time?

[codescript94]

In the digital age, human attention has become one of our most valuable resources. Tech companies, social media platforms, and streaming services are constantly competing for our attention, using algorithms that shape what we see and how we interact. This “attention economy” has significant implications for our mental health, productivity, and even our social interactions.
