International shopping is about to change. With the suspension of the de minimis rule in the USA, online shopping is going to get more expensive—especially for consumers in the US.

Difficulty paying attention to your surroundings? Does it feel more and more difficult to keep track of conversations?

Well, the good news is you’re probably not alone with this feeling. The bad news is that our media consumption continues to set us up for losing concentration and thus losing interest in things more and more quickly.

Social media is constantly grabbing our attention with new and exciting impulses so as not to let our minds linger too long on one thing, keeping us in the constant loop of short-span-attention-content.

Welcome to the Attention Economy. In our latest Number Goes Up episode, GLOBIS Insights writers Kingsley Nlewedim and W. Tanner Kirk discuss how the Attention Economy affects the media you see online.

We have all been there: scrolling through our phones without real purpose, just spending time on swiping, liking, reacting, and swiping again.

And of course, this loop is not surprising when considering that Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms are designed to keep us engaged—and keep our attention firmly on them. Welcome to the attention economy: it is not important what you consume, but just that you do.

However, this behavior prevents us from making meaningful use of our time online, as well as connecting to our peers. So, how can we prevent this cycle and rediscover meaning in our online interactions?

Information is available everywhere, at any time, thanks to search engines on the internet. But while a quick Google search a few years back might have given you all the information you needed, it now provides an overwhelming amount of... everything.

And AI isn't helping. AI summaries are known to be biased and sometimes even flat-out wrong.

So what does that mean for the future of search engines? We’re taking a closer look in our latest Insights article:
