The currency of the new economy won't be money, but attention (1997)
Whenever I see sentiments like this, or when I hear people with comfortable jobs in the tech industry talk about how money is imaginary, etc., it just comes across as being detached from reality to me.<p>It&#x27;s easy to fall into this trap when money is abstracted away to being just a number you see on your smartphone, but money is very real, and if you don&#x27;t have it, you can&#x27;t pay rent or for heat in winter.
