If You Could Control Someone's Attention, What Would You Do With It?

Apollo Robbins, in wonderful TED talk, shares his observations on how people’s attention can shape reality. He talks about how a human’s brain when asked to process data (perhaps in the past) will not be able process data in the present. He does a much better job explaining this concept than I, so check out the video below.

So how can we use this insight to design messages or messaging to control and capture people’s attention?

    Hey! Saw this video couple of days back and was thinking of the same thing! A very serious question that is… How this translates to design? I am not yet sure… But it should! We as designers are creating lots of new things and experiences for people, we are capturing attention and we should be aware of what we are leading people to… Still pondering over it! 🙂
