The basic problem for designers working in an attention economy, I believe, is this:
- The more information there is to attend to, the less attention any one interface (web site, app, service) will have
- As attention goes down because of competition, the importance of fast clarity becomes crucial
- Fast clarity is instant recognition, understanding, and plan for action
- In an attempt at fast clarity, we often confuse it with shock value, which is short term attention grabbing without long-term benefits
- Most interfaces exist for long-term benefits
Fast clarity is valuable; shock value isn’t.
