Can Crypto Help Us Measure Time Well Spent vs. Time Spent?
In the Attention Economy, technology and media are designed to maximize our screen-time. But what if they were designed to help us live by our values? www.timewellspent.io is a movement working on encouraging this very idea. I wonder if something like Steemit can help us value content based on what it actually provides for us as opposed to what's most popular. A big challenge.
What if news & media companies were creating content that enriched our lives, vs. catering to our most base instincts for clicks?
What if social platforms were designed to help us create our ideal social lives, instead of to maximize time-on site and “likes”?
What if dating apps measured their success in how well they helped us find what we’re looking for instead of in # of swipes?
As technology gets more and more engaging, and as AI and VR become more and more prevalent in our day-to-day lives we need to take a look at how we’re structuring our future.
The linked video is a promotional video I made for the movement that actually won a couple webby awards recently and went sorta viral on facebook (ironically). Hope you enjoy
