Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Stowe Boyd thinks the Network Economy/Attention Economy is driven by the Flow State of Information. We are transitioning to a new ethos, in which remaining connected to those most important to us is more imporant (and more valuable, in the final analysis) than personal productivity... The hypothetical value of focusing on one thing and getting it done as quickly as possible has decreased... For the average person (Free Agent), linked in a dense, cascading Social Network of collaborators who depend on your timely response to critical events, it will prove increasingly difficult - if not impossible - to veer away from Continuous Partial Attention. We will have to learn a new balancing act, and it will be strongly canted toward spending more cycles scanning the horizon and fewer looking down at the piecework in our laps.
Ross Mayfield goes even further, saying that the Social Network Context gives us Economics Of Abundance for Attention.
